Azziad J @Azziadjose33 2d Tragic story, well made We found this on streaming last night and decided to give it a try. The story is dark, tragic and compelling. The performances are outstanding. Kudos to Joanna Cassidy, James Brolin, Tia Mowry. Really liked the camera work and the directing. Nice job to the filmmaker. It’s not an "easy movie", but very emotional. See more Jessica J @Jessicajones55 Jul 21 Intense drama with my girl Tia I only recognized Tia from the cast. Wow this movie is intense. I loved seeing my girl take on a darker, grittier role. The whole movie was well done. The Mom is heartbreaking and strong. Both the 2 older actors were really good. The 2 white guy brothers were also good. In general, great ensemble. Good scenes. Good filmmaking. I liked it. See more Lewisleyz K @lewisleyz Jul 15 So much fun I love movies like this. Dark character study, drama highlighting incredible performances from TV star Joanna Cassidy and movie star James Brolin. Truly amazing performances! With direction from Director Joe Wehinger. Great job. Supporting cast: Tia Mowry, Corin Nemec, Kirk Kepper, legendary France Nuyen. Incredibly strong movie See more Olivia M @Monroeolivia Jul 4 B+ Not bad! First, the cast. Great performances. James Brolin and Joanna Cassidy probably got some awards for this. Director Joe Wehinger takes a TV movie script into more of a dark, indie character study. Really great scenes. Some good dialogue zingers here and there. I wish the ending went bigger. It gets bigger and bigger, then goes soft by the end. It needed an ending stomp! I’d rcommend it.

James Brolin is a devilish dark mofo dealing with family tragedy. His wife Joanna Casidy plays heartbreaking with glamour. Supporting cast Tia Mowry, Corin Nemec, Kirk Kepper all create good moments. Director Joe Wehinger makes the movie look and feel bigger than a super low budget indie. See more Ted H @Tedhoughton Jun 21 Yep, a fun cliche, but the perfect cast and filmmaker to do it. Is the story predictable? Yes. But this one goes darker. The Director brought more detail and style, made it more fun and delicious. The cast? Nearly perfect. Anti-hero James Brolin. Distressed Mom Joanna Cassidy. Fun movie if you like this type. See more Read all reviews
