We went to the cinema as we call it it in the UK last weekend to see a crash,bang , wallop movie, as nearly all films are these days. As the trailers were all for crash ,bang wallop movies as well. I It was a pleasure to see on TV an old fashioned type of film with a STORY line! I thought the characters played by the grand-father, father and son were moving and the drug addicted mother was shown empathy by her estranged family.I thought that Jon Travolta , Christopher Plummer and Tye Sheridan were very good. The scene where Travolta takes his son to the brothel ,was handled perfectly . The ending had a kind of Shawshank Redemption kind of quality about it. I like a film with a redemption! It makes me feel better and not miserable . And is it a bad thing to be entertained by a a film?
