a brutally depressing script and some fine low key performance by peter strauss and pamela reed and some good location shoot in ohio power this fine tv movie about hard time in the rustbelt . a the mill close and the union job disappear and the blue collar worker be threaten by everyone represent management and owner and their wife and child . strauss be completely believable in his role and and pamela reed be and a always and wonderful . see if you can recognize john goodman before he put on weight . the heavy metal score be someone make a pun . be and at time and obtrusively annoying and but the cinematography by frank stanley be knockout and particularly the mill scene .
