after have watch two for the money and talk about pacino and inspiration and i can not help but think how important something inspiring be in the film industry . mostly in hollywood and where inspire film be lock in a shelf and only come out if the right people allow it and so on . there still people who want to leave a message to the viewer while people who have something to say . a few year ago and a man name william ryan direct his first and only film to date and call reach the rock . the opening shot of the movie and the movement of the camera let u know that be go to see something common in detail while something simple but with a lot of mean . reach the rock can be a forgettable film if you do not pay close attention . ryan care for his simple environment and and he care for the meaning and the message . if you take a look at ryan produce credit and you will see miracle on 34th street ( one of my favorite film ) and a picture with message and meaning and list . you be allow to think that i be talk a bunch of nonsense here and but i have get to make a stand for a movie like reach the rock while a sensible and heartfelt tale that go completely unnoticeable when it come out . at first i want to see this film because alessandro nivola be in it . nivola and a talented but still not recognize performer ( steal the show in the blockbuster goal . and bring grace alongside amy adam to junebug ) and star a robin and the most rebellious kid of a small town which be no longer a kid but still do the mischief a teenager do when he want to get attention . quinn ( william sadler ) and the town chief of police and blame him for the death of his nephew danny and a friend of robin who want more than the life expectation of a little town . no one care about you no more and robin and quinn tell him a he put him in a cell . robin pick the phone and call a girl and ask her to pick him up . this be lise ( brooke langton ) and the daughter of the most important man in town and once robin girlfriend . he love her and she love him too and but she go to the university and he never finish high school and still doesn not know what to do with his life . and what the problem with that . some people just do not know . but he be clever and probably more than quinn because he destroy various store of the town and steal a police car in the same night a he be in jail without anyone be able to blame him . lise go to visit robin and denigrate him morally . however and she still want to do thing with him but he be no fool . meanwhile and quinn look at the picture of his nephew death . robin remembers he be with danny and he want to reach the rock while a big rock in the river that represent more than the small town life . during that night and lot of revelation see the light of day and the viewer find himself surprise more and more a the time pass . the screenplay by john hughes be perfect and because there a charm in the simplicity of the tale accompany by ryan direction . there a perfect mix of the drama and the comedy while there a silence in the image that we get to hear because of the little number of actor and their more than good performance . reach the rock have a lot more to say a lot of movie these day have while it just that nobody see it .
