kristymcintosh I saw this film for the first time last week and I loved it! I was very impressed with not only the actors but the choice of actors for each role. Faith Hill was a natural as the Mom and let's not forget about Steve Earl who was PERFECT for his role! The location couldn't have been better especially with the small town locals revealing their real life stories during the film. It was the prefect way to represent how any normal person can end up with a lifestyle only they can be proud of from wanting more in a dead end town that can't provide. Great touch to the movie! This movie entertained me as well as informed me and you don't always get both out of a movie. The soundtrack was incredible and the closing song gave me chills. I was left wanting more...

vydia18 I loved the movie, because it deals with a situation that many ex-cons deal with once released from prison. Faith played a convincing , caring mother. I felt all the actors played their roles well. I loved her sons desire to go straight and help his girlfriend out. it showed he had a heart and was a good kid inside, just faced challenges in the environment he was in. The same for his girlfriend, a good daughter in a bad situation and only could work with what she knew. I love the fact also that Faith is so versatile in acting and singing. I know some reviews thought it was a waste of her acting ability, but I saw the opposite. she was very convincing and her love and concern for her son came thru in her acting.

ahalida When I watched this movie, I couldn't help but observe the romance in it. It's a very easy film to follow. Less crime, more drama. There's a quote that outlined: There comes a moment in your life when you have to decide whether you wanna sink or swim. This film is all about that.It's very touching and beautiful. People who love crime love stories, would love this one too. Actress Riley Keough proved to be one the most talented actresses. She was brave to play her role of this silent and troubled character who had it very difficult. When it comes to the actor Chris Zylka, I can say that it was his first movie I watched. He played his role of this tough guy terrificuly. He knew about his character and I guess that's the reason he was so good at playing him. There's less action, more dialogues. One more thing I liked about this film was the message it carried. I highly recommend this film for mature audience.

bhclark-121-662862 Decent acting on the part of both the leads. Essentially an ex-con, white knight, captain save-a-hoe title that is as believable as it is improbable. The general plot is ex-con gets out, meets girl, does crime to pay for girls mothers cancer bills. Surprisingly uneventful. Potential wasted, especially pertaining to RC's role. The setting was both believable and mundane enough to play perfectly in each scene despite its small scope. Overall this feels like a budget film whose acting, and scene displays, has brought it a tad beyond what it would normally be rated. I would recommend this as "light watching" and not a feature event.
