(Minor spoiler ahead, marked within)
Excellent performance by Mark Ruffalo with a very strong support by Jennifer Connelly. Young Elle Fanning does a very good job and again shows that she has a promising future in acting. I'm ashamed to say that I actually didn't recognize Joaquin Phoenix until I saw the end credits (and then I wondered which part he played!) - he did a decent job, but the rest of the cast was so strong that I felt his acting was lacking in comparison.
I knew absolutely nothing about this movie before watching it, so I won't ruin it to you. I felt the movie had a combination of 3 themes: ** MINOR SPOILER AHEAD ** The first part was a tragedy, the second part was a thriller and the last part was a revenge. ** END OF MINOR SPOILER ** The last part felt too cinematic/exaggerated and I wish it was more realistic, like the other two parts.
6/10 Highly recommended.
