long way round to a foregone conclusion in a landlocked drama, 27 May 2008
4/10
Author: dbborroughs from Glen Cove, New York

*** This review may contain spoilers ***

Mostly land locked tale of blind father and his son. years ago they had been on ship that went down with the wife and mother. Picked up by an evil crew that had designs on the woman, the father and young son were tossed over board and the mother kills herself rather than face a fate worse then death. After a good many side plots, the evil Captain comes to town and the blind father recognizes his voice. A long 55 minutes that is full of lots of digressions that aim toward the appointed conclusion. Not bad, but not really good either, for most of it I was wondering where it was heading and then when it got there I was underwhelmed. Thats it? Apparently. More a footnote than anything else. Once you've seen it you won't need to see it again. Then again unless pressed into watching it you're probably better off grabbing something else. 4 out of 10, though its probably better than that but the pacing and its long way round make it lose some points for disappointment)
