This is a fine film with good performances and direction. Nice to see a film made for very little money (comparatively) with so much depth. My head reels at those $100 Million "blockbusters" that for me are a waste of my time. Or would be if I actually saw one. Explosions, car chases, special effects......give me real characters inter-reacting to real situations every time.
shareBut consider the audience those movies are shooting for.
How many 15 - 23 year old age bracket males would be interested in a male bonding movie that deals with such a heavy subject? The men in this movie are men, realizing their childhood dreams are not going to come to fruition and they are trying to accept that they settled, that they will live mundane and "watered down" lives.
The target audience of 100 million dollar blockbusters are young men who still think they're bulletproof.
I don't know if I'll make it, but watch how good I'll fake it
