Great acting and wonderful writing. Both need to be tops if you want people to sit there and just watch two actors talking. And this film had each in spades.
Synopsis
Nothing is ever black or white.
A deeply religious black ex-con thwarts the suicide attempt of an asocial white college professor who tries to throw himself in front of an oncoming subway train, 'The Sunset Limited.' As the one attempts to connect on a rational, spiritual and emotional level, the other remains steadfast in his hard-earned despair. Locked in a philosophical debate, both passionately defend their personal credos and try to convert the other.
