Have you seen this movie?
I don't know, somehow it touched my somewhere deep, I don't know where and why but it did. It left me sad. Usually I like movies that moves me, sad, happy, what ever.. but this time I hope I didn't see this for some reason. It has few powerfull scenes though.
And I like Edward Norton generally.. I recommend this to anyone who likes Norton. It's basically a story about a guy in New York, drug dealer who gets busted and the movie is about the last day he spends free. He is with is friends and gf and father.
It has good scenes like where he tells his best friend (one of the two) to mangle his face, so he wouldn't be so pretty when he goes to jail in couple of hours, so he would survive there. But best friends don't want to bash others face in, but eventually they will because it's the others last request and because its for his own survival and good. Basically this guy is a scumbag drug dealer, but you can see his human side, and that he is very scared of going to prison. It's so painfull to him, and when he deserves to go to prison, you kind of wish he didn't have to and that he could just clean his act.
Then there is other powerful scene where father picks him up and drives him to jail. He says that he can take him to somewhere, so he can flee and not go to jail. This would mean lots of problems to his father from authority, he'd lose pretty much all he has. Maybe even get in trouble with those other criminals.. but he's ready to do it, to save his son. But if that happens, they can never meet, never write, never return. Then it has a scene where they are in bar , having last drink. No words are changed. Both knowning this is it. Then they briefly hug, father goes into the car and drives away, never looking back, no words. I don't know, it has some power in it that at least made me choke, and I'm not the type of person to choke on anything. Least in the movies.
