| This is a movie that is worth watching and gets better as it goes on.
Burt Reynolds plays an aging neighborhood grocer who is shot by the young son of a single mother in Wash. D.C. The kid is a budding delinquent who is bullied into participating in the crime by some young thugs who push him to "prove himself". The kid's mother finds him and the wounded man at the scene of the crime. She drives them both (she's a taxi driver by profession) to the family home in Waterproof Louisiana.The clan welcomes the prodigal daughter and grandson and tends to the wounded man. In the course of the visit the family history is revealed. The actors are superb as they bring forth the story of suffering, guilt, redemption, and forgiveness. It is surprising to see Burt Reynolds in this part but his confidence seemed to grow as the movie moves along. He displays sensitivity and ultimately avoids shtick in a role that was a real risk for an actor who established spectacular stardom in macho, action movies. This is a part completely foreign to his usual characterizations and he showed artistic courage and humility in shedding his image for the sake of a movie that was never going to make millions. You may quibble about various imperfections if this movie doesn't meet your standard of political correctness and/or isn't mean enough to suit your social perspective. But the message will take hold of you anyway because the performances are that good. Be sure to check out the cast credits which includes the marvelous talents of Whitman Mayo, Ja'net DuBois, April Grace, Orlando Jones, Anthony Lee,Cordereau Dye, and Gil Johnson |
