Sad Culture-good movie, by Rho Kahan
May 28, 2007
The movie was very good. It described a sad culture of young people with no future goals or interest in themselves as part of a larger whole. Selfish, self serving and seemingly devoid of an education or guidance from parents.
The one parent (Bruce Willis character) was a criminal guiding his son toward the same future. The acting was pretty good and the character development was also g ood and not at all one dimensional. My hat is off to Nick Cassavetes for a find job of writing, directing and producting. I regret that this movie received negative reviews. It deserved better.
