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. Read full review

Ultimately, Stone is a haunting film about what it feels like to be really and truly lost. Read full review

I was with the movie until its head-scratcher of an ending, too oblique for its own good. Read full review

The craftsmanship is impeccable as is the acting, but the storytelling is where the movie falls down. Read full review

Peter Debruge

Oct 20, 2010

Though nearly sabotaged by the ridiculous sexual subplot at its center, this soul-searching drama works best at the character level, couching insights about sin and forgiveness under the guise of conventional genre entertainment. Read full review

The results prove disappointing, simultaneously over the top and underwhelming. Read full review

If only one character in Stone reacted as someone in his position would to the preposterous situation at hand, the movie would be 15 minutes long. Read full review

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.

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.

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.

The plot is weak, i just was waiting to finish the film, I think one of the worst film for De Niro, I am so disappointed, the only thing that I like in the film is Milla performance.
