The Old Man and the Pond

Tobin Bell carried this whole movie by himself. Without him it would be a very boring movie. He is one of those actors that was born to act & you can't teach that to anybody. He is a Legend of an Actor in my opinion with his soft spoken undertone of a voice that is one of a kind. He is just so natural in any part that he plays. His acting seems effortlessly in this movie. This is a great movie & Life's Choices & how they can change you & make you think about the Consequences & how your Decisions can affect others. A Great Watch. I Highly Recommend it.

An inspiring movie about making the right decisions in life, taking responsibility, forgiveness, and the importance of both having and being a father.

I am not religious and do not entertain the ideas. This movie does have religious bearings. I really enjoyed this movie! It is a great great character piece. It plays like a PG-13 Hallmark movie. Religion aside, I recommend this movie to those who are empathetic.

So enjoyed this quiet little film about father/son connections, life choices, and the ripple effect we have on others. Tobin Bell is fantastic - it's a very different role than what he's known for - but he shines. I almost felt like this should be a play...as nearly the entire thing takes place at a cabin on a lake. It's challenging and compelling. Highly recommended.

The sign of an excellent movie at least in my opinion, is that it should give you pause, cause you to think, leave you with something you might not have felt so strongly before you "met."

Tobin Bell and Jason Mac give excellent performances as the crusty old man living the life of a recluse whose world is interrupted by the younger, desperate man high tailing it from the sheriff after his first robbery.

Both men are grieve their emotional pasts and evolve with a shared love for one another. Mac's acting had ME tearing up in the next to last scene it was so well played.
