Samuel L Jackson and Tommy L Jones are playing the role of their lives in this extraordinary film. The film is a dialog between two persons only. The dialog takes place in Samuel's apartment. They are only the two of them spending the night just talking, having an interesting conversation between an ex-con and a professor. The conversation is the main action in the movie as each one of them finds the best possible questions, answers and arguments to prove a point. Let me tell you, it's a bore if you expect the usual action from the two of them, but it's very interesting if you ever wonder why should suicide be considered and why should everyone be saved by belief in a superior power that controls all the Universe. They don't give their names, and they tell some stories about their lives to build their character background. Samuel saved Tommy from the Sunset Train Metro, apparently committing suicide. Tommy is a professor that lost the belief in people, he is an atheist and believes only in the culture of mankind. And when it seems that all the culture is being destroyed by today's society, thus loosing his faith in life and realizes that there is no pint to it, that living it's nonsense, expecting nothingness and the end of chaos on the other side. Samuel works at the Metro, he tries his best presenting arguments and stories about his life, proving that with faith in God a man can change, can hope and can be happy through acceptance. In the end, Samuel fails, he must let Tommy go his way, but he realizes he won't mustn't give up on Tommy and be there to save him once again. Very Great Movie.
