Vietnam veteran Leon Barlow is struggling as a writer, and his personal life isn't much better. His unsympathetic ex-wife Marilyn doesn't approve of his visits with his two children, and he has problems with alcohol. Yet even when Leon manages to catch up on alimony and child support payments, things in his life seem to decline further, until a sudden tragedy catches him off guard. Written by Sujit R. Varma
I wanted to like this movie. Unfortunately, I was greatly disappointed.
When there is little or no redeeming value in the main character of a movie, from beginning to end, all is lost.
Dead-beat, alcoholic father/writer masters the art of self-loathing and self-absorption.
