Exceptional acting, interesting film

What makes "American Heart" a better film than many others with a similar theme (father and son struggling with their relationship) is the exceptional acting. Jeff Bridges and Edward Furlong are both brilliant in this film. The story is also very well-written and interesting. Definitely a film above the average. 6/10
