What's it about? Three people - a maths professor, a born-again ex-crook and a housewife - are brought together by a single tragic event.
Who's In It? Sean Penn, Benicio Del Toro and Naomi Watts.
Best Scene? The horrible accident that spins the characters lives towards disaster.
To be honest: Director Alejandro González Iñárritu uses his trademark time-fracturing to make a movie that skips about in time, but never forgets the value of character. Watts is excellent, but it's Del Toro and especially Penn who own the screen. A brilliant, tragic, unforgettable film.
