Review of Reign Over Me (2007) by G C — 04 Sep 2009
The acting in this movie was truly remarkable. Adam Sandler delivered a once-in-a-lifetime performance. Don Cheadle was also spectacular.
The story itself makes sense as to why Charlie came apart. Overall though, it's not a plot heavy movie whatsoever. I have no qualms about that. The only thing that detracted from this movie was production value and average secondary acting.
Production value: there were several scenes where the camera work looked simply bad. The angle just seemed bizarre. There like also some scenes that didn't fit in overly well.
However, the acting clearly sets this movie apart. Two tremendous performances make this movie a very strong drama. If the producing, editing and directing had been better, it would've been a worthy Academy Award picture.
