    what a nearly unwatcheable movie. i understand that this was a made for TV movie from the mid 80's but its really terrible. Denzel gets the lead bill on the box because of who he is today, but he's not in more than 20 minutes of this movie. its basically an after school specia...( read more)l about why people shouldnt drink and drive. its long and slow. the only good thing was that it made me think about the horrors of losing a kid, and the script was done realistically in that regard.

    Nothing really works in here, beginning from the poster focusing on supporting actor Denzel Washington. The plot is so common, cliche and 100% predictable, even from before the accident.

The plot just jumps from a scene to another to reveal a fact to the viewer, which really seemed super dumb. We have each and every year a minimum of 10 similar but better movies, so there's absolutely no need going for this one, even if you are a die hard fan of Washington.

    Intense story of a man who seeks revenge against his daughter's murderer, though it was an auto accident. Denzel gives another great performance in this well written story.
