Damian Lewis in Keane

The movie Keane is an intense portrait of a man that teeter-totters between sanity and insanity. His predicament has its origin from an event that any viewer could empathize with - the loss of a child. Such a happening is, of course, a profoundly legitimate cause for mental suffering, but the problem with observing Keane (played by Damian Lewis) is that one never knows where truth starts - and fantasy ends. The viewer gets caught up in Keane's unsettled universe as he searches, oftentimes while in a drug induced condition, for his missing six year-old daughter. His odyssey takes him to many seedy places and his bizarre behavior sets the tone for every unpredictable encounter along the way. It is a mesmerizing film that becomes almost too real at times. Be prepared to play this film over and over in your head, after your initial viewing. The movie has that effect on its audience.
