| User ReviewEd SI love this film. As you can see from the rating. It captures the time perfectly, aside from the narrative content. Impeccable performances throughout - a real edge to Hopkins at that time. I saw this at least a couple of times at the Phoenix (once when they showed the reels in the wrong order!) and would love to see it again. |
| User ReviewShady Alove the script love the directer, love the music, love the actors, felt sorry for sonny. i love this film |
| User ReviewCorey BI really liked this film, we always see separation or divorce or the pain of loss of a child from the female's point of view, this one is told from the father. Anthony Hopkins is excellent in this film. |
| User ReviewWalter MThe best Anthony Hopkins performance you've never heard of. Terrific character drama. |
| User ReviewDido CThe closest version to my childhood in a movie. But told from the father's, not mother's point of view. |
| User ReviewFabiana .Always wondered what guys saw in this movie. I found a new appreciation for it recently. Still not hip to the gangster parts but it's connectivity to Life fasen |
| User ReviewGavin HA bitter, divorced man who lost custody of his son helps a friend help him get his son back. Watchable TV movie with interesting themes that takes a different approach. Good to see Jopkins play someone normal, and not larger than life. Even at 85mins, the plot is spread really thin and becomes dramatically uneven at times. |
