I love this movie. I have seen it about 13 times. This is Tommy Lee Jones' best performance, just beautiful. I can not believe that he didn't recieve an Oscar nomination for this performance. That year Tom Hanks won the Oscar for 'Forrest Gump' That's Ok. But check the other nominees: Morgan Freeman (The shawshank ...); Paul Newman (Nobody's fool) and John Travolta (Pulp Fiction). Are you going to tell me that these performances are better than the Jones' in Cobb? I don't think so. Anyway, the movie is great. You must see it. 10 of 10
