This is Tom Church in the sort of role he does so well. I saw him recently in Cardboard Boxer and when it comes to playing guys on the edge...he's the guy to cast. I just saw the title of the first review here...which is more then I usually read...and yes...this is not an action flick. It is a deeply introspective dark look at
a very troubled lonely isolated tormented guy....stuck in an awful situation and flashing on what brought him to that point. It is exactly what is supposed to be.
Those of us that can relate to TROUBLE, and feeling alone and isolated with it, are not gonna be bored at all. I give it 9 stars, not 10, only in the sense that I suppose, theoretically , anything can usually be improved in some way or other.
I think the editing and speed of action are pretty close to being exactly what they should be. It's a thoughtful dark movie....and like other work I have seen this actor in.......Less is More.......and the more i like a movie , the less time I spend analyzing it and just sit back and go for the ride. that is the case here...It coulda been twice as long moving at the same pace and since it's a meditative sort of piece....that would have been fine with me. Not appropriate to a meth smoking 14 year old on a skateboard and a backwards baseball hat into CGI cartoons about AI machines etc...........Highly recommended to thoughtful people.
