But the existent word is a triple of career-best performances: Phoenix, harrowing as a child-man whose saneness has been completely nevertheless eaten outside by scourge; Vaughn painting a fascinating portrayal of a adult male at state of war upon himself, self-interest and sneak decorum seesawing in his moral sense; and Heche, component canny fire hook participant, component backer of leniency, mixing fortitude, discretion, and fury according to devastating accuracy. Oscar blinked, iii periods. --Richard T. Jameson
