Wonderful character development!

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

I'm not a movie critic. I know nothing about making movies. I'm familiar with both of these actors. Nothing more. All I know is that for about one and a half hours, I watched two men in a room, captivate me with their discussion. I have to say that I'm almost 50 years old and this movie goes down in my life as one of the best I have ever seen. (I've seen a lot of movies). The movie ended and I wanted to watch it again to learn the lines!

It is a superb film which can raise more questions than the answers it provides. It is not just about atheists and believers, white and black people, rich and poor or life and death. It is about who you are, who you could be and who you would like to become as a person. I hope this film would last double the time(90 minutes are not enough to give answers, not even to raise your truthfully questions). Superb acting, marvelous directing(simple, but meaningful). I hope for a sequel(a white-rich man saves from suicide a black-poor man). It would be a whole different film but with the same principals . Same actors at this sequel would make so much difference to me.

While I did not expect a movie enacted as a play It was due to the skill of these veteran actors made it enjoyable. While understanding the two religious beliefs and point of view for each of the characters, I came away with the notion that it is the sane people who would commit suicide. Most of the people in the world follow a plan and stick their heads in the sand as sort of societal automatons. It also seems that Jackson was stunned by the reason that Lee wanted to commit suicide to the point he had to let him leave the apartment. That from where I was viewing. I have recommended this movie to a few people. I know people of both persuasions so it will be interesting what they get from the movie.

The movie was a major disappointment given the talent. However, knowing much of McCarthy's atheistic writing, it was obvious to me from the start that the religious advocate would be: a) non-intellectual; and b) defeated by his own doubt at the end. Yawn. McCarthy let's the Jackson character do most of the talking throughout the piece, so "stupid" people of faith can be duped into hoping that perhaps the Jackson character is making some headway in his quest to save Jones. But, of course, McCarthy is really only saving his "brilliant" atheistic diatribe to be inserted into Jones' mouth, in rapid "wow, that's said so fast, it must be true" grand finale fashion, at the end.It's a dirty pool trick on any viewer unfamiliar with McCarthy's personal bent, who's hoping for an honest and consistent resolution of the discussion between the characters. Instead, we get what amounts to a political rant designed to blow faith out of the water.Bravo, not.The dishonesty of the "dramatic" structure ruins the entire film. Although, I'm sure know-it- all atheists like McCarthy and the Jones character will love it.
