They track him down and find that he is a well respected and loved man in his new skin. His family is none the wiser of his past, but the truth comes out and a family is ripped apart only to uncover even greater truths.
This movie was setting on my shelf for many years and I thought it was a made for TV movie that had made it to video, so I ignored it. I never was big on the made for TV thrillers with a watered down story and has been actors. This movie though surprised me because it was actually good.
The direction was as basic as can be, but the writer/director has little experience and this is only one of two projects he has been involved with. The production is just as low key. Acting wise it is full of has beens and never will be's - Scott Bakula in the lead with Annabella Sciora and although a great actor his small time here couldn't save it, and of course I am talking about Ed Asner.
This movie was good and interesting, pure drama and no action. They should have cut out the F-bombs and made it a TV movie or at least rated PG and it would've perhaps gained more attention... I recommend anyone watch A History Of Violence to see the kind of movie that this movie wanted to be. 3/10 stars
