THE SUNSET LIMITED

Directed by: Tommy Lee Jones
Released: 2011

well, it seems the movie i'd be most likely to write myself has already been written. two men in one apartment for 90 minutes, discussing the philosophy of life and god. one's an ex-con who admits "if it ain't in the bible, i don't know about it," the other's a suicidal non-believer. it's like a philosophical boxing match-- back and forth until one guy falls. some of the most brilliant and thought provoking dialogue ever written (provided by cormac mccarthy, author of "the road"). i can't say too much without revealing details, but if you're looking for something to really make you think about life and what it all means-- this is it. 10/10.
