This movie has a very good line when terminally-ill father complains that sonny compares his words to the holy words of God in the good book;the story takes place in a bookstore,often the last refugee for the failed (or soon-to-be ) writer.
LDP owns the store and he fires (why? The reason is vague) one of his employees,a clean cut kid ,and he offers the job to a (cured?) serial killer on parole ;he treats him as a friend,probably using him as a character for the book he is writing.There are many plot holes but the final twist takes us off the beaten path ,not a small feat for this kind of low-budget movie;the only thing which is terribly lacking is a genuine director and a screenwriter who could have used some good ideas with better results.Average.
