SnoopyStyle In 1991, Ally Craig and her mother are confronted by two teenage robbers in a deserted Brooklyn subway stop. Her mother is shot dead and she's left with only her police detective father Neil (Chris Cooper). Ten years later, Tyler Keats Hawkins (Robert Pattinson) is a self-destructive college kid. His friend Aidan Hall drags him out to party and they get into a fight. Neil is their arresting officer. Later, Aidan discovers Neil's daughter Ally (Emilie de Ravin) and he convinces Tyler to break her heart. Tyler hates his businessman father Charles (Pierce Brosnan) who is divorced from his mother Diane Hirsch (Lena Olin). His sister Caroline is a child artist but she gets picked on at school. The family is estranged after the oldest son's suicide.Pattinson is good as tortured soul leading man and Emilie de Ravin is a beautiful heroine. The two of them work great as a romantic team. I wanted to punch his best friend in the face every time he opens his really annoying mouth. The big concept in this movie is the shock reveal in the end. While there has been enough time past, it is still too awkward to have that incident used as a plot device. Maybe in another 50 years, this would be acceptable but it does feel wrong right now.

colormewithyou Never judge a book by its cover, right? So, I took a chance on this movie, and boy, did I like it! Robert Pattinson was awesome as the role of Tyler, and Aidan was a very like-able character. I had never seen the trailer or even heard what this movie was about, so the ending shocked me (call me blind, lol) and left me in tears. I was even crying during the middle of the movie because Tyler's relationship with his dad is a lot like mine with my dad. I loved the connection between the siblings, including Michael. I really enjoyed the way the movie captured Tyler's tragic past and his troubling relationship with his father, but at the same time, it reminded me how important family and friends are. Cliché, I know! Lastly, the events on 9/11 really get to me, so this movie really, really touched me.
