I'm currently 47 minutes in to this film and I reached for my fone to read reviews to see if it was just me that thought it was awful. The film is now at 117 minutes and I'm still reading reviews, so I guess it's time to turn it off.
The acting is really poor in my opinion and I think the guy with the son has an unnecessarily over the top bad attitude.
When it cuts to the flashback scenes I'm wondering if it's a comedy.
