i enjoy this movie . nick nolte give his all and trevor morgan and a his reluctant protégé and give a nuanced performance . above all and i find off the black believable . the premise be a bit unlikely and but the actor be up to the challenge and the director know where to take the story . it not an expose of rural life and but it not an exercise in sentiment and either . there be no set piece and one liner or explosive confrontation and but there be truth . this be not one of these movie which focus so much on the negative a to numb the viewer . ( i can name about ten movie in the last five year which do that . ) but it do insist that life isn not perfect . the world of movie distribution isn not perfect either and which be why this do not appear at the multiplex . but the dvd be there . grab it .
