Proving he still has a couple of directorial rounds left in his cinematic six-shooter, Clint Eastwood steers a big-name cast (Sean Penn, Tim Robbins, Kevin Bacon) through the grim story of three childhood friends reunited as adults by tragedy. The intense performances and straightforward direction hold this bleak tale together, and the extras keep it just as simple. "Beneath the Surface" interviews the cast about their respective performances, while "From Page to Screen" treads through similar territory, this time with more clips from the flick. Three separate Charlie Rose episodes (Eastwood, Robbins, and Bacon), and commentary with Robbins and Bacon unload a host of other stories from the set, while a special edition comes packing the Eastwood-composed soundtrackperfect to lighten the mood at any social function!
