I was pleasantly surprised at how good this movie was.I picked it up at Blockbuster. It was well written, very well acted and directed. The cinematography was nice. All around it was very well crafted. I am always inspired to see good movies made on minimal budgets, without name actors with a shoestring crew that deliver something that is on par and in some cases surpassing what a lot of bigger budget projects don't. It was nice to see this genre in a different context. It was easy to see from the credits that this film was made by a few people that were wearing a lot of hats and they did it very well.This was good story telling.Good movie making. Well done! I would be interested to know what the budget was on this project. If anyone involved knows and wants to share PM me.

I was pleasantly surprised when I rented this direct to video release. I didn't have a high expectation because most direct to DVD movies aren't great. Actually even the theatrically released films are usually a disappointment. John Leguizamo's performance was excellent as well as the rest of the cast. The little boy was great. It was very well written and directed. Everyone who worked on this should be very proud. The ending left me a little disappointed. It would have been nice to get a warm and fuzzy ending but still a great movie worth watching. It's nice to see a quality film that tells a story, has a message and actually develops characters that you care about. John did a great job making us believe in his character and forgetting we were watching an actor.
