Factoid:

The project dates back to 2003 when Nick Cassavetes had signed on to direct, but a year later was replaced by John Curran. Three years later Nigel Cole is sitting in the director's chair. ~ IMDB

Yet another paternal road trip, this time between a Father and Son (think Open Road). Christopher Walkin plays Nat, a con artist who lives life on freebies and his son Flynn (Alessandro Nivola) whose personal and professional life suffers from mistakes from his Father’s past. When Nat comes to Flynn telling him he is dying the two set out on a road trip that will bond them and possibly repair their relationship.

QUALITY:
Terrible. Grainy, dark, and the color just comes off bland. Giving the film the benefit of the doubt I used all five settings for picture on my television and no change. Its just a nasty looking picture and you can’t help but notice the casting job and wonder if maybe this production wasn’t shot on a shoestring budget barely clearing cost to allow it a release, even a terrible one, on BD. Audio is good with a DTS-HD Master Audio mix so your able to access the environment and follow the dialogue evenly.

BONUS FEATURES:
*Director and Cast Interviews. (Not in HD).
*Trailer
*Still Galleries

All in all the film is only mediocre worth maybe seeing on DVD or television. I don’t foresee any improvement coming to this release anytime in the near future.
