Gibson fully conveys the suicidal depression that ails his aptly named character, Walter Black....This is high-quality work from a professional... -- Grade: B-

It's a bummer of a movie -- dark and at cross-purposes with both itself and any image do-over [Gibson] might be seeking. Full Review

Rating: 1/5 -- Contrived, self-admiring and self-pitying, unfunny, burdened with a central performance which is unendurably conceited and charmless. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- Gibson, of course, is well suited right now to playing a man in pain. But he has little chemistry with Foster, who plays the woman who gives him more chances than he deserves. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- Fitfully compelling, a welcome antidote to more formulaic Hollywood fare, and deserving of more than embarrassed sniggers. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- This really is one of the most unbalanced, incohesive, disturbing, vomit-inducing, yet strangely captivating movies I have seen in some time. Full Review

[H]ere is another of Mel Gibson's fine performances, a reminder that he is after all a superb actor

Product Description:

A successful businessman and loving father finds a unique means of coping with his debilitating mental illness in this drama from director Jodie Foster. When Walter Black (Mel Gibson) finds himself stuck in a downward spiral, the chance discovery of a beat-up beaver hand puppet offers him a unique opportunity to pull himself back from the brink. By using The Beaver to speak with others, Walter develops the abilities to express the suppressed feelings that were slowly eating him away from the inside.
