A drama directed by Alejandro Gonzales Inarritu, starring Sean Penn, Naomi Watts and Benicio Del Toro.
The lives of seemingly unrelated characters intertwine as a man kills a husband and his daughters in a car accident and the husband's heart is transplanted into a man who falls in love with the widowed wife.
This is a prime example of non-linear plot. This film element is over-used to the point where the story almost doesn't make sense. I had a hard time figuring out WHEN some scenes were taking place, as nothing was in any sort of logical pattern. Aside from that, the plot is decent and the characters are developed well. Obviously, the style and pacing are all fucked up. I'm rating this poor because of the non-linear plot. If it were in order, it would probably get a good rating.
