    All ye searching for Primal Fear redux, abandon hope. The character-driven drama he (Curran) offers viewers instead is something far more complex, cracked and unique for an American movie boasting big-name stars: an unblinking glare into the abyss.

    Mostly this is a tense, portentous, and provocative piece.

    Stone is highly charged and vibrant, and pits Edward Norton against Robert De Niro for two utterly electrifying performances.

    A movie steeped in sin that squats awkwardly in a cinematic purgatory between tawdry and talky.

    This movie has many levels and may not be what you expect. It is a good script and you have to participate in it. I enjoyed the acting also. DeNiro and Norton are great together.… Expand

    Fantastic acting from De Niro, Norton, Jovovich and Conroy, but the story arc is lacking and some scenes should have been cut due to tedious redundancy.… Expand

    A fast paced action thrill ride that may be a tad confusing with a slow beginning, but Stone was a solid, unique film, that might be Milla Jovovich's best, and Ed Norton and DeNiro act amazingly together, like they were made to act together. A nice movie that you don't know what happens until the very end.… Expand
