I remember watching this movie, shortly after it won best picture in 2004. As much as I enjoyed it then, I had a hard time remembering the chain of events in this movie before I rewatched it a few nights ago. While I don't remember the other movies that were nominated that year, which the exception of Brokeback Mountain, I do remember thinking that this movie was probably the best movie of that year. After watching it again a few nights ago, I still agree with that thought! This movie was great! I loved the story about the locksmith who tells his daughter about an invisible scarf that protects him from being shot and how that nearly played itself out in the movie with his daughter. I liked Don Cheadle's part of the story, and Trevor Howard is very underrated as an actor. I thought Matt Dillion did a great job of a cop who is tired of living in the polictical world of affirmative action. All in all, a must see!
