Okay movie. But let's hear it for Scott Leet.

He did an amazing job playing Ray Frye, (very Clint Eastwood-ish) a hardened ex-convict who's trying to go straight. There's one scene in the movie where Leet's character takes his first drink in 7 years.

Wow!

Guy must be a method actor because I haven't seen a great drunk scene as good as that in years. You could just see the inner turmoil all over his face as he tries to stay on his feet.

The one turn off in the movie, actually two turn-offs, was Mickey Rourke and Bojesse Christopher. Mickey was almost a non-entity in the movie, practically phoning in his performance, if you can even call it a performance, and Bojesse Christopher was just outright ridiculous. It's like he was playing a parody of a real human being while the rest of the cast was grounded in real life drama.

I hope to see more of Mr. Leet on the big screen. Major talent.
