Hmmmm? I really don't what to say about this movie, other than perhaps…um
well…it sucked. I just was expecting more from a film with Robert
De Niro. But, it happens I guess. A simple story about a father whose
son gets accused of a murder, and like any father would or will try to
do anything to see that his child remains and stays out of harms way regardless
of what they've done or been accused. I understand where this movie was
trying to pull some heartstrings or something, but unfortunately I could
not connect with any of the characters, nor was I concerned with the outcome.
I was more interested in finding a comfortable position to get into so
I could fall asleep in the theater. Sorry… And just one more thing…Isn't
Asbury Park in New Jersey?
