Instinct

This is a wonderful film, quite a surprise - I had not heard of it and rented it because of the actors and the fact that it was supposed to be a "suspense" film. It is instead a very spiritual and emotional film about all of us, our illusions and our self-imposed imprisonments. Hopkins is great as usual but Gooding's character is the glue - a young man who believes in himself and dives in head first to try to make a difference among people who have been beaten down and have given up. Did this film get much distribution? Is the name Cuba Gooding, Jr. a red flag to put something right into video? Because Instinct and Murder of Crows were both wonderful, yet I don't remember hearing much about them.
