i find this film embarrass to watch . i felt like it be shove the storyline down my throat a if i couldn not pick up the subtlety i need a voice over to spell them all out for me constantly . have a father who be still an alcoholic and i do not really feel it be a film about alcoholism a such . alcoholic and true alcoholic be very lonely people inside and in my opinion of course . they find it hard to communicate and something that the main character have no problem with really and except he do have a problem say i love you at one point which be a bit of a feeble effort at establish his cold character . he be constantly surround with people too . i felt cheat that at no point be we really alone with the character to really get a sense of his inner loneliness and turmoil . i couldn not connect with the character and felt no link at all consider my father . i felt nothing at all when it have finish and just relief it be over . kevin mckidd be an okay actor but not a tough guy feature lead . the clockwork orange thing be as subtle a a brick . mckidd be too old for the teen and they should have get three different character or avoid the teen stage and concentrate more on the adult mckidd . on a good note and i felt the little boy actor be really good at the start of the film .
