In a hard world of hard men and absolutes, some men will break. As a likely outcome becomes an inevitable consequence, how far can a brother's love stretch?
A Texan working man (Patrick John Flueger - 'John Donnelly'), is doing his best to provide for himself and his family. Work is hard to get and harder to keep, but his brother whom he vouched for (Austin Nichols - 'Tommy Donnelly'), is slacking at work, and neglecting his family at home. The grizzled boss (Kris Kristofferson - 'Boss Flood'), is getting twitchy, forcing John's hand to confront his brother Tommy, and learn that his troubles go even deeper.
When a hard world creates hard men who deal in absolutes, it should come as no surprise that some men will break under the pressure. As a likely outcome becomes an inevitable consequence, how far can a brother's love stretch?
This movie speaks strongly to themes on authority, family, loyalty, and just how far is too far. The story is well told, and though slightly unusual in the narrowness of its focus, the lead played by Patrick John Flueger, and his brother Austin Nichols; maintain the drive and tension needed for this to work. A commendable piece of work.
