It's ironic that a film with this title should be among the most vital, alive, and challenging cinema experiences of the year.

Variety | Emanuel Levy

An intimate chamber piece for two, superbly acted by Susan Sarandon and Sean Penn, this is a mature, well-crafted movie.

What this intelligent, balanced, devastating movie puts before us is nothing less than a contest between good and evil.

So good it's scary

"I've known that Sean Penn is a good actor, but this cinches it. Sean's portrayal of his character in this movie is delectable. Susan Sarandon's acting here is impeccable also. I really can't for the life of me understand how Sean hits the mark dead on with the final scenes. Sean is really gifted and deserves whatever he earned. Thanks, Sean, for a movie I will watch again and again (on DVD)."
