Movie Review: A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints

The day before yesterday i was at home bored out of my mind. So i decided to go and get a DVD. I had heard good wraps of this movie and i like Robert Downey Jnr as an actor. He played his role well not the best. It also had that guy from anaylize this the other mafia boss that was against Robert DiNiro. That guy played his role to a Tee. Dianee Weist was ok but i felt that some of the people that were in the movie were not playing to their full potential.

The story revolved around Downy Jnr character receiving a phone call from his mum asking to come back and visit his sick dad and so we join him on the journey back to the place her grew up and through the journey he was remembering different points in his life. It was going in out of present time to flashbacks. all that kinda thing. I felt it was hard too follow and it made me sleepy.

It is a confronting movie that deals with abuse of many types but the two types that were focused on were Emotional and physical abuse through the eye of robert downy jnr character.

This sorta felt like the movie Sleepers but not as in your face well that what i felt but it could be different for others.

This had that feeling of an independent film which it was and also it was a first time director that made this film based on his life.

My Rating 7/10
