I was really falling into the lands of lore and floor while watching this one , It has not much to do with the film but much to do with whoever denies me from sleeping hours .. Actually I watched it couple of weeks before Kill Bill.

I afraid that it will be hard for me to do justice reviewing this film , maybe I missed around 11 minutes of it but this is enough to miss.

It's the third film I remember I fell during of at my theatre red-sit; first will be Hollow Man, the second: Two Towers..neither of them had much to do with my automatic-dream-restoration-system activating itself unautomatically.

'A Perfect World' was fun and it holds on to the Halloween mood we're in right now the mood of kidnappin' a Jesus freak kid and going to Canada.

Space Cowboys was very entertaining too , and I never got to watch Blood Work .. I believe I Should.. Shouldn't I ? And Unforgiven haven't seen this one for a very long time allready.

Ehhh let's make it short: Three childhood friends loose contact and each holds to himself , the loss of contact might have to be a particular trauma one of them undergone .. probably not .. due to his trauma he might have motives to commit some evil doing and thefore both of the untraumad ones get to blame him as much as they feel they want to.

The characters are of the most believable from the recent releases .. Although I didn't enjoy the movie much cinematographically (mustbe the scenery); the musical score was memorable at the time..

There's plenty beneath the surface to study and wonder about and maybe someday when I'll have nothing better to read I'll read the novel and rewatch it .. or give up the reading and just rewatch.

All the Acting is as great as they praise it ..  I wish Tim Robbins would pick better characters in his next films.

Perhaps it deserves more than three and a half sheeps, and perhaps everybody deserves an equal share of the sheeps and whatnot , we haven't got halves anyway.

Next review will be Open Range, or anything I'de enjoy .. the hopes.
