Great performances by Benicio Del Toro, Sean Penn, and Naomi Watts. Didn't touch me as much as Amores Perros, but definitely still worth watching.

This one did not cut it for me in terms of expected emotional charge. Something unconvincing in the way the key characters were rendered.

I am with you on this although disagree on Babel. Think they both deserve 3 stars.
