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?
