Genre: Drama, Thriller

Academy Award® winner Robert De Niro and Oscar® nominee Edward Norton deliver powerful performances as a seasoned corrections official and a scheming inmate whose lives become dangerously intertwined in Stone, a thought-provoking drama directed by John Curran ("The Painted Veil," "We Don't Live Here Anymore") and written by Angus McLachlan ("Junebug"). As parole officer Jack Mabry (De Niro) counts the days toward a quiet retirement, he is asked to review the case of Gerald "Stone" Creeson (Norton), in prison for covering up the murder of his grandparents with a fire. Now eligible for early release, Stone needs to convince Jack he has reformed, but his attempts to influence the older man's decision have profound and unexpected effects on them both. Stone skillfully weaves together the parallel journeys of two men grappling with dark impulses, as the line between lawman and lawbreaker becomes precariously thin. The film's superb ensemble features Milla Jovovich ("The Fifth Element") as Lucetta, Stone's sexy, casually amoral wife, and Golden Globe® winner Frances Conroy ("Six Feet Under") as Madylyn, Jack's devout, long-suffering spouse. Set against the quiet desperation of an economically ravaged community and the stifling brutality of a maximum security prison, this tale of passion, betrayal and corruption examines the fractured lives of two volatile men breaking from their troubled pasts to face uncertain

this one doesn't look believable:

- a seasoned corrections official close to his retirement, and yet he naively gets involved with the obviously manipulative prisoner wife that goes to great lengths to help her guy, not to mention this prisoner is supposedly a killer, let alone being in charge of or responsible for green-lighting the prisoners parole - very thin indeed
- a smart manipulative killer (i wasn't impressed with norton's acting, its way too 'stretched') - yet he fails to hide (or get away with it) the murder of his grandparents with a lame attempt like setting the house on fire, his haircut is just silly for some badass and while being interviewed he acts like a nervous/itchy/insecure 'boy' which any psychologist would see through or get suspicious instantly - thinnish!
- Stone's sexy, casually amoral wife? riiight, she seems more like a pale sharon stone copy from basic instinct, though still smarter than both of the male characters - now why would she still hang on to that prisoner is a mystery, a thin one (must be the huge inheritance from those grandparents)

His early release is enough!?
