    The film starts out very promising, but about halfway through it gets bogged down a bit and is a little too slow moving. It is well acted by all, well photographed as well. It?s a good story, it?s just not that exciting.

    Some people need anger mangement and he did for sure. I changed the lives of many but his little girl hurt the worst.

    Used Maine locals for actors. Thomas Hildreth was on hand for Q+A afterwards. Okay story. Acting not so great! You have to support the locals.
