Wow! If you want a movie with realistic characters and stellar performances, this is it. No special effects, no car chases, just ordinary people with extraordinary problems. John Heard is spectacularly believable! As a father, he has failed his sons, but now tries for redemption. Raymond Barry is terrific also as Uncle Vic who has seen his share of hard times as well. Young Tom Guiry must grow up with a dark secret, but is able to do so in a way that makes his Dad proud. Excellent acting! Older brother Clayne Crawford (reminds me of Emile Hirsch) seems bent on repeating his father's mistakes. The women all play minor roles, with America Ferrara as the young brother's romantic interest in sharp contrast to her TV stuff.
