Good Friday

Who was the guy he was meeting on the park bench? Not my favorite movie.

This is really a mess of incoherent scenes sewn together poorly to produce a bad lengthy episode of LA Law.

The skewed timeline doesn't help and most of the legal scenes are lengthy, wordy and filled with pseudo legalese that really makes no sense. Half way through I found myself unable to properly follow either the chain of events or the dialogue, and it never improved.

Acting was what you'd expect all overly dramatic and exaggerated just like the script, and if that were all I could have lived with it, but a poorly written story is a death sentence to a film and this one needs to be laid to rest.

Bad script. Bad acting. Hard to follow the story. The worst thing was the main actor. He had as much emotional depth as dried cement.

I really enjoyed this movie. It touched my heart deeply at how Lucas faced so much pain from a terrible loss and still raising a son. This movie had GREAT actors like Danny Binstock. He truly captured the essence of how men draw so inward when hurt. The whole story line took place in a day. The camera angles and shots caught the visions that often play out in a person's mind when in deep thought. The music set each scene that portrayed hurt or wonder.

Lucas Cole wanted revenge but chose to forgive and do the right thing. I long for more movies like this one. These stay lasting, not only on our minds but our hearts.

It's a great watch.

Loved this movie- a great storyline and really liked the characters and the issues raised about the power of faith in a troubled world. Good character development- always like to see redemption and change.
