Overall I would have to say that this is a very emotional and gripping movie with a story that kept me interested until the end. Anthony Hopkins plays the feral Ethan Powell with an intensity only matched by his co-star Cuba Gooding Jr. with his role as Powell's psychiatrist. The one thing the disappointed me greatly was the supporting cast. The patients in the psychiatric ward add a great deal to the depth of the film, but the rest of the cast play very hollow roles and did so with very little enthusiasm. I really enjoyed this movie but it fell short of it's full potential. This could have been an Oscar winning movie if more time had been spent fixing little problems here and there. As a whole this film is great, but the little nuances ate the edge off of it's exterior. I give it 7/10
