Martian Child = greatest movie of all time!
Now, I don't mean to hype a movie beyond belief...
But the other night, me and my best friend PJ came to the conclusion that Kevin Spacey & John Cusack are the two greatest performers for their consistently-awesome/ultimately-kick-ass performances (Kevin Spacety - The Negotiatior, American Beauty, Superman Returns, & 21 vs. Con-Air, High Fidelty, The Ice Harvest, 1408)
And if anyone wants to argue ANY of the previous performances listed...
Even if you think the movie sucked, you have to admit that either actor in ANY roles listed were AMAZING...
Well, there's no denying this one, and I'll give you the exact qualifications.
John Cusack + Martian Child = FTW. (Not the one ending "... The World... more like = FOR THE WIN!!)
If you haven't seen it, do yourself a favor and rent it for one night. Even in a state of turning off the movie every 10 or 15 minutes or so, then restarting and picking up where you left off, not only was John Cusack so engagin that he made me shed tears NINE MINUTES IN...
But at 45 minutes into this almost 2-hour movie, I broke down because of him.
Without a doubt, John Cusack delivers a career defining, but sure-to-be in the years-to-come, under-rated Oscar worthy-performance as a widower who decides to adopt his own child, fufilling the dying wish of his wife.
Trust me, this is one of the greatest feel-good, tear-jerking movies OF ALL TIME.
Please, if you read this, rent it no more than 30 minutes after you read this review and prove it to yourself...
Bottom Line: John Cusack delivers one of his finest career-defining performances, the rest of the cast delivers solid performances, and you'll cry at least three times, if not more, before it's over... even if you try to take breaks to prevent the tears!
Overall: 10/10 - DO NOT MISS THIS MOVIE!! You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll love it!! :)
