I watched this movie with anticipation, because I've always enjoyed most of what Nick Nolte has done in the past. But I just simply couldn't grasp this plodding film, its ridiculous premise, its weak storyline, the poor acting and bad direction. Virtually every person in this film seemed catatonic, especially Tim Hutton. Why did he even bother? His character was so one-dimensional and shallow it was like he wasn't even there. There was a total lack of chemistry between Trevor Morgan and Nick Nolte, which made the film drag and I found myself just wishing it would end after about 3/4 through it. I imagine this film will fade away quickly into the abyss of forgettable celluloid trash. NEXT!!!
