A seasoned corrections official and a volatile inmate find their lives dangerously interwined in stone, a thought-provoking drama directed by John Curran and written by Angus Maclachlan. Stone features powerful perfomances by Academy Award winner Robert De Niro and Oscar nominee Edward Norton and a starlingly raw, breakout perfomance from Milla Jovovich as the sexy, casually amoral woman they both desire.As parole officer Jack Mabry (De Niro) counts the days towards 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 need to convince Jack he has reformed, but his attempts to influence the older man's decision have profound and unexpected consequences for them both. Stone skillfully weaves together the parallel journeys of two men grappling with dark impulses, as the line between lawman and lawbreakrer becomes precariously thin. Golden Globe winner France Conroy completes the superb ensemble as Madylyn, Jack's devout, long suffering spouse. Set against the quiet desperation of economically ravaged suburban Detroit 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 futures.
