An independat film about a boy who wants to be closer to his dad, but his father has just come out of jail and can hardly look after himself, let alone his son.
It is moving, funny and charismatic, and theres a certain charm about it.
Although quite long and menotinous at some points, it is generally a gripping drama.
Edward Furlong plays a similar character to John Connor, an independant street kid. Jeff Bridges also delivers a fantastic performance. Although slightly melodramatic in some parts, and a little cliché, this film is really quite thought-provoking :)
similar plot to the film paper moon, but more current. it captures the dialogue of the people it portrays very well, and resists hollywood forays into ripe, shit-eating sentimentallity. jeff bridges plays a character who, though uneducated, addicted to alcohol, violent, rootless, and formerly criminal, retains that most important feature of american life, the all-pervasive dream- an idea of an out from the monotony of the unforgiving industrial wasteland of the early 90s urban northwest. seattle is a fantastic setting, and this movie is diametrically opposed to sleepless in seattle, which cam out the same year. media hacks, damn yall.
This board looks lonely. Be the first to talk about "American Heart" !
