Odd but watchable
by alatlantic2026-01-02
4/10

"This is one of the few movies that kept my attention throughout, so I do give it credit for that. That said, it's somehow relatable and completely unrelatable at the same time. The relatable parts...family, loss, forgiveness, are rather heartwarming and give it base. But the rest is unrelatable and at times downright odd. The characters and dialogue are rather unrealistic, and more than a few scenes feel out of place. It's a shame given the cast that this wasn't a better movie, really...."

💡 Did You Know?

Great line from the movie : Chris Cooper character, speaking about Kansas, says "Out here, "gun control means hitting what you're shooting at." (IMHO, even a gun control advocate can acknowledge the succinct humor in that statement)
