Don't know if anyone has seen this movie (Don Cheadle, Kevin Spacey, Chris Klein, Jena Malone, Ryan Gosling), but I think it's just awesome. I'm not so sure I agree with the whole idea of what happened in the movie and the 'message' it conveys, but it makes you think a bit and I thought the acting was phenomenal to say the least. I think it's at least worth a rental, but the soundtrack really grabbed me and I have loved Jena Malone since 'Donnie Darko' and I'm always a fan of Kevin Spacey's work.

It's about a kid who is in Juvenial detention for murdering a mentally challenged kid and the story about why things happened the way they did. As I said above...I certainly don't go along with Lelands thoughts and justifications, but it makes the movie really interesting.

It got slammed a bit by some critics, but I still thought it was a great movie.
