Simply put, it is a story of triumph over adversity

I won't give away the plot. You really need to see it in order to understand what I mean. If you are a Tim Roth fan, he doesn't disappoint. His acting is believable, just like the story he helps to tell, which is as old as time. "Tough times don't last, tough people do."

Tim Roth,, James Russo, Deborah Unger = PERFECTION
Added 5/20/2000
Personally I don't think this movie could be improved upon. It is so eerily REALISTIC. The acting is superlative by all -- Tim Roth ,James Russo,Deborah Unger fit to a T. Even the girl who plays Tim Roth's former g/friend is perfect. This is a movie to get lost in. Very intense portrayal of a young man going home after serving 8 years in prison .. for a crime he did not commit. Just talking about it makes me want to watch it again. My hat is off to the actors. What an accomplishment!

A movie need not have high-tech imagery, nor an explosion every 30 minutes to be a good movie. This movie proved this theory.This movie showed that in life, some people can adapt and overcome the most horrific of life events, and others can't.

VERY WELL DONE AND REALISTIC
Added 8/24/1999
Tim Roth is an amazing actor It's hard to believe he is not the "Joey" from this film. This is a very sad film that shows the reality of life after prison and the brutal violence and fear that some people live in every day. Not for the faint hearted. All the actors do an excellent job but Tim Roth is simply outstanding ... as in all the films he has been in. I hope we see a lot more of him.
