Right in line with a mobster, we’re rated R.
Activate Joey mode! The Next 135 Project takes us to Tinytown Indiana as we delve into what makes a staggeringly good man return to his vicious mobster roots. Viggo Mortensen was just hitting his stride at this point in his career (as he was nearing 50 years old) and he leads a terrific cast. Maria Bello, Ed Harris and William Hurt are all right on point. David Cronenberg’s pictures can be hit or miss, but this pseudo-western is on the short list of his best ever.

For The Record: George Clooney didn’t shake Hurt’s hand when he won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar in 2005. He hugged him. Also, Heidi Hayes plays Sarah Stall.
