A well-performed character study, fully absorbing throughout; if the script is at times schematic, it's certainly brilliantly realised, and Van Sant, Damon and Williams sweep us along with wonderful power.

I don't know what 2 stars mean, but I would rate it as a very good film. It is not just the main characters (which are obviously played well by damon and williams), but the other side characters like the mathematician, damon's girl friend, the bunch of friends are also excellently developed in the movie.
