Took a bit to get into the rhythm of wartime flashbacks and imaginary relationships that were part of his man's profound mental illness. Once I realized that I was a voyeur, seeing through this man's crippling injuries everything clicked into place. The buildup to the poignant ending was startling, but very much in keeping with the portrayal of the man's shattered life.

I thought George Clooney was excellent. I did not even recognize him so his movie star status did not overshadow the storyline. Is role is very cerebral and I was drawn into the character he played.
