The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Like a hot knife through butter. Lawrence O'Donnell Jr. Is one of the few people on TV that's honest and unafraid to call it like it is. It's refreshing, reassuring and emboldening for anyone with a brain in this crazy day and age.

He goes on and on, working himself up over bizarre ideas and strange minutia. Weird rants from an angry man.

Like many of the MSNBC shows, "The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell" looks at the day's events, with the host noting the subtleties not only in the stories, but about how they get discussed. And he always manages to do so seriously but humorously. The show doesn't quite have the cleverness of "Countdown with Keith Olbermann", but I like how O'Donnell presents the issues, such as when he noted why the requirements for police departments to make a certain number of arrests each year leads to mass incarceration of young black men. It's not the best show on TV, but I recommend it, along with "The Rachel Maddow Show" and "All In with Chris Hayes". MSNBC's one of the few good channels out there.
