i have enjoy criminal intent series of law and order for a long time . kathryn erbe and det . alexandra eames and the female detective be rather hard and seem a bit bitter in the criminal intent series . see her other side in this movie . this movie show the marvelous soft side of this talented actress and if you be a criminal intent fan this movie be a revelry in her acting and you get a pretty darn good yarn of family hardship in the south . i do not like albert finneys role in this movie because he do such a convince act job of the old southern fellow that be hard head and intolerant and unaccepting of change . he remind me of so many men from my youth and the portrayal be divine and but you will likely find him hard to like in this movie . katryn erbe be easy to like in this movie and why i recommend it a a 10 star for criminal intent and law and order fan .
