Jackie fights to keep his faith and prove his son is not the monster the world has made him out to be.
I sat down to watch this flick with my wife a few days ago. The story line is “okay” but in my opinion predictable. There were parts in the movie that were entertaining and engaging, while other parts were boring & fell flat. A few of the actors did a good job portraying their characters and others I felt were trying too hard and it looked un-natural. In my opinion, the film was just “okay”, not one that I would rush out to see or buy. Please remember, we all like different things and this movie was just a let-down for me. You may enjoy it.
Looking to buy? You can find the movie DVD available for purchase over on Amazon for a really great price. More affordable to buy this DVD than to take a date out to the theater. Win-win!
