Family matters ... sometimes
No pun intended - acting does matter too. Casting of course is also very important. And I mention this, because sometimes you can guess who is playing what role. Have to admit, I was a bit wrong concerning the people involved in this. Not that it matters too much.
Josh is the lead role and he is being played ... I mean he plays ... ah well you know this was a pun, so why hide it. When you have a thriller, you can guess that a lot of playing around will occur. This is not different - enough twists and turns to keep you on your toe. But maybe too many for you to care in the end? You decide if that is true. The actors are on their game - they do their best for sure ... still this may be overpacked ... and it is hard to feel for certain things ... - kh-17438 - 13 June 2022
Bad Plot with Great Acting
The plot just doesn't work: it just doesn't make sense for a mom who so loves her family and yet she subtly asks her son to commit capital crimes. It's all so she can be free to die outside prison and I never quite understood how she actually did got out of jail.
Her son brutally killed a member of the parole board who made the decision to not let this bad lady out to die, and I was able to follow that course of action.
Melissa Leo is a really great actor and her time and mine were wasted on this film.
