Let me set the record straight!
Okay, okay. There is no record. Then let me set you straight. This is a pretty damn good movie. You won't be disappointed to own it. You won't feel like you wasted your time watching it. And you will watch it more than a few times and enjoy it more and more each time you do. The cast is excellent. Lots of talent, thoroughly engaged, and not a single miscast role. The story is, well, I can count four stories going on at the same time. Two love stories. Two retribution stories. One boy-to-man story. Okay, five. But they all occur naturally, none is forced, and they all are nicely resolved with a happy ending. You will enjoy this movie. You will tell your friends about it. You can trust me. When I was in prison, they called me The Preacher. Or was it The Squealer. I forget.
