The last hour was intense. John Hawkes was amazing as Bugsy in this film; he can play any role and make it his own. Rusty Schwimmer too, as Irene. Most of the cast was outstanding; Janet Wright, who played Bobby's Mom Ethel Shatford, had me in tears. The only actor I found miscast was Mastrantonio; she looked like a chicken, much too frail to manage a swordboat. If she'd gained at least 30 pounds, she might have looked a bit like the strong Ms. Linda Greenlaw.
