great film !!!


This is one of my favourite films. I thought Bridges was excellent. Definitely underrated! It does move slowly, but the acting and storyline are deep. It keeps you moving. I just happened to see it in a video store a few years ago,rented it and ended up loving it.

I completely agree. The film's truthful. No lies. And still poetic.I remember how sad it seemed to me the first time I saw it.

Yea it was a really good movie. After renting it I bought vhs copy a few years back.

Thing is even tho I have the movie I can't bring myself to watch it again.

(spoiler below)

I think its cuz of how much you want them to make it to Alaska and then the father dies and its like damn, whats the kid going to do now.....

maybe i'll watch it again tonight.

I agree. "American Heart" is an excellent and shamefully overlooked indie drama gem. Jeff Bridges and Edward Furlong are both outstanding in the leads. What I love most about this film is that it's extremely gritty and unsentimental, yet still heartfelt and poignant.

300 bios and counting.

Great film! Very under-rated. Another under the radar performance for Jeff Bridges.
