Control
Sentenced to death...Chosen to live...Destined to kill again.
Ray Liotta (Goodfellas) and Willem Dafoe (Spider-Man 2) leads this all-star cast as two men from opposite worlds trying to come to terms with their troubled past. Liotta plays Lee Ray Oliver, a violent sociopath who is granted a second chance at life when Dr. Copeland (Dafoe), a pioneering scientist, offers him an experimental behavioral drug that promises to suppress his violent nature.
When Lee Ray's newfound life begins, he is continually haunted by his murderous past. Searching for redemption, he falls in love with Teresa, his beautiful yet cautious co-worker played by Michelle Rodriguez (S.W.A.T, Girlfight). Life begins to take on a new meaning until the experimental drug starts triggering side effects and Lee Ray's criminal past comes back to life. Will he kill again? Or will he finally gain CONTROL?

I had hopes for this one - with Ray Liotta, Willem DaFoe and Stephen Rea, I figured, how can it go wrong?
Oh, yeah, it can go wrong if the script is CRAP. Really weak writing, and an ending that was so annoyingly clichéd.
If you are a big fan of the actors, I suppose it would be worth seeing, but not otherwise.GREAT PERFORMANCES - Terry2
All the performances are first-rate especially Ray Liotta. He does a great job as the reformed killer. Willem Dafoe is his usual good self as the helpful doctor.
."Control" has a near-perfect balance of action,suspense and emotion. Just pretend you didn't see the ending.Typical Liotta - Shelly
Ray Liotta always plays a good sociopath. I hope that's a reflection on his acting abilities and not his personality. I did find that the movie moved a little slower than I would have liked but the story line was good. I am not a fan of Willem Dafoe but found that I did like his character in this movie. All in all a decent movie.
