The Sunset Limited
A deeply religious black ex-con thwarts the suicide attempt of an asocial white college professor who tries to throw himself in front of an oncoming subway train, 'The Sunset Limited.' As the one attempts to connect on a rational, spiritual and emotional level, the other remains steadfast in his hard-earned despair. Locked in a philosophical debate, both passionately defend their personal credos and try to convert the other.

How sad is this?
Awesome Movie
Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
This for me best movie of all times... This for me best movie of all times.. This for me best movie of all times.... This for me best movie of all times......
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!
The stage-script adaptation of this movie was one of the only stage performances which lost me in the dialog/performance.. (in the Tivoloi Theater in Dublin, a number of years ago..) Usually stage scripts/performances leave me constantly trying to let go of the fact that acting people are standing in-front of me on-stage, acting their lines, but this was different. The actors were flawless, The content was sparse yet poignant... I left aghast! Now seeing this version featuring Samuel L. Jackson and Tommy Lee Jones... I'm again mesmerized! Simply two men, in one room... great acting... Welll worth the watch! *****
A movie about the meaning of life and the continuous human quest to explain the reason for existence.The choice of the two main characters is very representative to the differences, contradictions, and diversities in society, and inside the human brain itself.I believe that the movie illustrates the inevitable confrontation that occurs deep inside everyone's inner self at some point in life.A very deep dialogue and an outstanding performance by Tommy Lee Jones and Samuel L.Jackson. A movie to savour... *********************************************************************
