Beckinsale and Cox with a great performance

Bot lead actors, Kate Beckinsale and Brian Cox, have always been dear to me. So it was a no-brainer I would watch this. The story is straight forward, simple, yet easy to relate.Beckinsale really shows she is not just a pretty face but a very skilled actress. She is very believable in her role as single mom of a great kid with epilepsy. I was impressed by her and will rate her performance a solid 9. Also Brian Cox filled his role as dying convict nicely. Their interaction felt true to life.Family dramas like this are not for everyone. One can debate the entertainment value. It's more a very believable real-life story that can teach us some valuable lessons.

A great film, well worth watching.

I have to admit, I watched this because I fancy Kate Beckinsale so much, and she has never disappointed in her acting in any film I've watched.With this film, dont expect an all action Hollywood run of the mill action blockbuster, its more of a thoughtful film with beautiful performances from Brian Cox and Kate Beckinsale, among others.It will make you think about the characters lives, as well as your own, and is a refreshing change from the average fair from Hollywood.A beautifully acted, well written, well directed little gem of a film, that is such a refreshing change.Watch this, you won't be disappointed.

good acting in uneven writing

Max (Brian Cox) is a prisoner dying from cancer. He can be given compassionate release if his daughter Maxine (Kate Beckinsale) is willing to take him in. She hates him for abandoning her to her unstable mother. She is a struggling single mom to Ezra who is being bullied at school. Her ex is a volatile drug addict.This is directed by Catherine Hardwicke. The story is somewhat derivative. Everything feels a little flat. There is a lack of high intensity stake to the material. Max is dying which eliminates the largest possible stake for him. That is why the ending doesn't have the intended tension. Mostly, I like this for the greatness that is Brian Cox. Honestly, I didn't even recognize Kate Beckinsale. I thought she was a lesser known Latina actress. The actors are all doing good work. The writing is a little uneven, but it doesn't sink this for me.
