Liked Travolta as the good guy for a change...
28 January 2011
Having never been a real big John Travolta fan, I watched this just as a "filler"for the evening. I thought that John played a compelling role as the Dad of a struggling little boy. His acting was very believable to me. And for a change, I saw him as a "real" person. So often it seems that John has taken roles that, to me, have almost given him a comic persona. I really enjoyed watching him act with compassion and love displayed for his son, Danny,played very well by Matthew O'Leary. Although the script was somewhat predictable.It definitely more than kept my attention throughout. The actors were well cast for their roles. Vince Vaughn as the villain was perfect. As was Steve Buscemi,again perfectly type cast, as Vaughn's slimy ex-partner. I love that guy in any movie he appears in. Overall. Yeh. I give this movie more stars than average. I'd watch it again. Much better movie than I had anticipated.
