    I tried three different times to watch this movie through to the end but never made it. This movie could have been made by "wanna be's" - it certainly didn't appear to be professionally made. It was uneven, boring, dull, etc.. Nick Nolte can do better than this - I think. po

    Editing was choppy, dialog was unnatural and very little payoff at the end. Not a good movie
