The Sunset Limited

[liveblue92]

I was flipping through movies on Amazon and found The Sunset Limited tonight. Great movie! It stars Tommy Lee Jones, as a suicidal atheist professor on the verge of ending his life, and Samuel L Jackson, an old school, Christian, ex con who's hell bent on saving him.

Jones and Jackson are the only two actors in the movie, and it all takes place in one room, Jackson's apartment. They never even mention each other's name throughout the film. It is completely dialogue based, and raises great ideas for both sides.
It is definitely worth 90 minutes of your time. I would give it 9/10 stars.

Thanks for the heads up. Sounds interesting, I'll have to give it a watch.

Yeah, it is great... if you like completely dialogue driven movies ( not everyone does) you should also see the man from earth, similar though not same theme with equally compelling acting but not the same star power.

Ha ha, I initially thought this thread might discuss an Amtrak train of the same name.

It does involve that train.

Written by Cormac McCarthy. That would make it worth watching without Tommy Lee and Samuel L
