This is one of the best movies I have seen EVER. I know the area it was set in, so I was immediately in the zone...the acting is superb and the characters well written and well represented. The story takes you along on the journey and there were times when I was watching through my hands, anxious that things would not go well. The movie has stayed with me, popping into my mind and I have been transported back over and over...It is a rare thing for a movie to live on outside the 90-120 minutes spent inside the theatre..but this movie had such a profound impact. Full credit to the cast and crew for a compelling drama. This is a movie that is destined to become a classic. An amazing amazing story. Thanks !
