21 Grams ****

Cast: Sean Penn, Benicio Del Toro, Naomi Watts, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Danny Huston, Clea DuVall, Marc Musso
Director: Alejandro González Iñárritu

Paul is a man with a bad heart and a failing marriage. Jack is a born again ex-con who sometimes takes things a little too far. Christine is happily married and has two daughters. All three have nothing in common until one fateful day that binds them together in a way that none expect. 21 Grams is a great movie that I would hate to spoil with further plot points. It is told in a haphazard way, jumping forward and backward in time, that really works and is part of the reason for the movie's greatness. It is confusing at first, but then things start to fall together and make sense. The acting is top notch from all three leads as well -- all could easily be nominated come Oscar time.
