Review of Lions for Lambs (2007) by Jeff S — 04 Dec 2011

You know, I was ready to give this film a 4.5... up until that end. That was just a horrible ending. It's not like they didn't have time to finish it; the film had a measly 92 minute runtime, but they decided to go with a more "artsy" lack of an ending ending to leave things to the imagination.

I HATE it when they do that! Anyways, rant over, this film was actually quite good besides that detail. Intelligent and thought-provoking, you'll find yourself taking an opinion on each issue and debating it alongside the characters.

The movie came across as very real and yet fictional simultaneously, with some very serious points raised in not so serious undertones that you have to look out for. However, I thought it was overcast, with the big-name actors distracting from the overall flow of the film.
