I saw it Friday night.  Suprisingly good movie, good twist at the end.  Tough to see Casey Affleck as a badass though.  Anyone else seen it?

I saw it when it first came out on DVD.  Incredible movie!  The actors all deserve awards.  The actress who played Helene McCready (Amy Ryan) was just amazing as a drug addicted piece of crap maternal DNA donor.  I didn't expect to love it as much as I did but I had to give it two huge thumbs up! :bow:

My wife made me watch it, I told her I didn't want to see a movie directed by Ben Affleck, starring Casey Affleck.  I wanted to watch Terminator 2 again (I saw a little of it on AMC, and she had never seen it).  So we rented both, and we agve each other props for a good movie that we didn't really want to see.

Doesn't hold a candle to the original book, but a solid good watch of a movie.
