Stone

Robert de Niro, Edward Norton, Milla Jovovich

Solid personal drama. RdN plays a prison shrink, EN a possibly crazy inmate almost due for release who has a beautiful wife who will do anything to get her man back. Including bonking the shrink, a deeply repressed guy immersed in a religious community.

The film plays with our perceptions of the various characters...teasing us, encouraging us to judge them and then shifting the story just a bit and confounding our conclusions. Subtle and effective.
