    • Quotes

      [last lines]

      Marshall: [voice-over] Why do you fight it so hard, Earl?

      Mr. Earl Brooks: [whispering to himself] God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time and enjoying one moment at a time, accepting hardships as the pathway to peace. Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is and not as I would have it, trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His will, that I may be reasonably happy in this life, and supremely happy with Him forever in the next. Amen.

    9/10
    Very clever movie, really entertaining
    Costner and Hurt are a brilliant duo together, and Demi Moore is surprisingly excellent as well. Without giving too much away - it's made clear in the first few minutes - the twist of Hurt being Costner's sub conscience mind works exceptionally well. Just a very cleverly constructed movie that has never got the credit it deserves..
