This movie begins a little slowly, but by the end, you connect with all of the characters and develop some major empathy for Nick Stahl's character. This movie is one of the rare pieces of art that causes me to reflect on my life and what I should be doing. Although it is a made-for-TV film, it's excellent and emotionally captivating. I recommend it emphatically.
