The movie was realistic enough. I like how Sonny's family was involved-- his mom, ex-wife, new love, and passing father. But the script needed Sonny to be passionate and not passive. It needed someone with grit. Especially the part where Sonny is on the clock. It should have been climatic but when Sonny says I love this game, he wasn't even facing the camera. The script was too scrappy for me.
