Pass

Rating: 5/10 (27 November 2005)

This movie is an overlong unbelievable tear jerker. I went to see it at someone else's request and expected a Rocky equivalent. That was a great movie. This was a mess.
Hollywood likes to parade old actors who have accepted their senior status. They should do the same for actresses, but that is another point. I am not a Clint Eastwood fan, but he is good in this film. And the girl is too.
The thing should have ended with the heroine getting her lights punched out and then trying to figure out what to do with the rest of her life if they wanted realism. But no,they went for the tear ducts.
To write and produce a movie that is truly tragic, a Rocky who gets creamed and drops like a, well, rock in a lake is much more difficult and much more real. This flick went for the sure and easy bet.
Not a good script or film.
