i watch this movie and and hop for something to get good the entire time . what be so great about a guy with no emotion . yawnyou never see alex show emotion for anyone other than his son . yeah and i know that this be why his son be the only one to cause him to lose his temper ( if you can call it that ) and i get it . character be undeveloped and relationship aren not give enough time to be understood . in one scene sarah say they would not fall in love and and the next time we see her she talk about how his death really shake her up because they be so close . logic synapsis abound in this film . it like someone watch boogie night and write this part to mimic little bill . even the scene where he lose his temper be the same a when little bill shoot his wife and down to the facial expression ( or lack thereof ) . yes and william h. macy be good at portray a man without emotion be there and do that can you say magnolia . this movie do not only lack emotion and it lack substance and a good script and develop character and and a plot . and it certainly lack my recommendation . positive . ~a~ .
