Movie Review
Grade: B+
Most people do not want to grow up to be like their parents, but no one wants to be different more than Wade (Nick Nolte), who was raised under an alcoholic, abusive father (James Coburn). Affliction is the story of how Wade painfully turns into the man he doesn't want to be, and pays the price for it. Read the full movie review
