Review of The Sunset Limited (2011) by Stefano L — 05 Oct 2011

2 people, 1 room (2 with the bathroom). That's all. No plot, no action, no trama development (at least phisical development). 2 hours of discussion in a room, a match between 2 men, 2 ideas of life, 2 ideas of death.

2 hours of philosophical discussions. It could be boring, very boring. But the rythm of the speeches, of the gestures, of the movement of the 2 characters keep everything perfectly linked and amazing to watch. The movie starts slowly, Jackson, self-confident and outgoing, clearly take the scene in the first part, overhelming Jones's character, quiet and discouraged. But with the time passing by, Jones awakes and the movie enters is most violent part. Yes, because this film is violent. Violent in the possibly worst way, the one that hit your soul, more than your body.
