Joaquin Phoenix and Mark Ruffalo are the reason I wanted to
watch this movie in the first place. Both are good character actors and if they
are together in a movie it had to be interesting. Reservation Road tackles a
delicate and explosive human issue and pits these two fine actors on two sides
of the fence.
Somehow the depiction of the crucial incident which leads
these two men to cross their paths didn’t make enough impact on me as it should
have. Moreover Jennifer Connelly’s role and her dialogs fell short of the
grieving mother she portrayed. The tension between the men is tangible, with
one living the life of a deer in the headlights(the pursued) and the other bursting forth with the rage of the pursuer.
It is an interesting movie to watch without expectations and
then let yourself be amazed by the performances of the two main actors.
