Excellent Film and Exceptional Direction

Rating: 10/10 (11 June 2006)

It has been a long long time since I have so thoroughly enjoyed a film. Because of its very limited release, I had to travel to another city to view it, but it was well worth the time and the trip. I was especially glad to see Salva branch out as a director and do something out of the horror genre.
The film was not quite as I expected, but much better. While not a comedy, the audience, myself included, found many opportunities where we were compelled to laugh out loud.
This was a great inspirational story, very well written, for the most part well acted, and very well directed. I am not normally a fan of Nolte, but like him very much in this vehicle.
