for the first part of this film and i regret have miss some of the cool decrepit site depict in the movie when i be in the long beach area year ago . then i realize that i have step into another hollywood twilight zone . for those who sit through the credit after be numb out by this tedious film about father son abandonment guilt deja vu all over again and again and again and it be reveal that the film be shoot in asbury park . that would have be okay if the deniro character do not lament the deterioration of long beach . if the area be a slum by the sea and give credit where it be due . that nitpick aside and the film deserve the oblivion into which it will fall .
