This flick was very Hollywood. Fine acting by all , including Mark Ruffalo, Joaquin Phoenix and Jennifer Connelly. I liked this movie and it meant well , exploring the psychology of the victims , particularly the dead boys dad , and his obsession with finding his sons hit and run suspect.This film, as well , explored the situation from , the suspects point of view. OK fair enough I get it and again I felt it was well done. Now here comes the BUT. Everything was neatly in a bow. In a metropolis that boasts in excess of over 12 million people or so... talking about Boston and its surrounding suburbs. The suspect just happens to live within a couple blocks, suspects son just happens to go to same school as victim of hit and run. For the cherries on top the victims family uses suspect as atty to find the killer and the victims family sibling takes piano lessons from suspects ex wife. Hope you guys wrote all this down. This is just too unrealistic for my taste. With all that in mind , I still enjoyed the movie.This was sensitive matter done well. It did offer many educational viewpoints of hit and run episodes and the actors were all people that I like and/or tolerate. Enjoy this movie for what it is and take the overly Hollywood script for what it is and nothing more.
