adonis98-743-186503 A convicted arsonist looks to manipulate a parole officer into a plan to secure his parole by placing his beautiful wife in the lawman's path. Robert De Niro, Edward Norton and Milla Jovovich are all of them very good actors each of their own in their respective genres whatever that might be but 'Stone' doesn't give them much to do. First Norton's role was god awful he was just the typical inmate who swears for like the entire film, Jovovich's perfomance was horrible too she was used more like a sex object and nothing more than that and De Niro? He tried i'll give him that but the script was so poorly concived that takes him down as well. Overall one of the worst films of all those 3 actors. (0/10)

mmmiiiaaauuu The first 10 minutes are the best part of the film, then it´s just pointless, weak story, you could skip 20minutes and still not miss anything important.

flemur13013 It was just too painful. Norton did a good job of playing a regular middle-class guy pretending to be a criminal. You could really tell he was just a regular guy because of the goofy hair-do and fakey accent, like what a high-school kid might come up with so as to appear tough.De Niro did a good job of playing a regular mild-mannered accountant-type guy pretending to be someone who worked with criminals. You could really tell he was just another regular guy because he was completely ignorant of how criminals manipulate people, and he kept a picture of his wife on his desk where incarcerated murderers could see it and start interesting discussions with him about his family life.

KineticSeoul This is a movie contrived of being all philosophical while trying to bring out human nature but it's a mess and underdeveloped. It's like the director or the writers weren't sure which direction to go. The main reason I decided to check this movie out is because it has Edward Norton playing a convict. But he plays a different type of convict to the one he played in "American History X". He is this kinda whinny and weird character that has a epiphany and tries to show his parole officer played by Robert De Niro that we are the way we are no matter what. While De Niro's character tries to convince himself that he is different by judging others. And the only character that is somewhat likable in this whole movie is Edward Norton's character that goes by the nickname Stone. But even he is underdeveloped and you really can't get a grip on any of the characters or who they are really. Even when the movie is finished, and it's a pretty crap ending by the way. They probably tried to go in a different direction and is indulgent in some areas but it doesn't really work. This movie become tedious and dull pretty early on without having any elements that make it gripping or even interesting. Even Robert De Niro's character is dull even though in the beginning his character seemed to have potential to stand out or at least be interesting. It's not a awful movie but by the end of it all I didn't feel like I gained much from this flick at all. Also the way Edward Norton's character Stone talks made me want to cough since he seemed to have a strep throat.5.1/10
