CGiii Comment
The writing is terrible - cringingly so.
Stamp is way over the top - cringingly so.
The direction - well, it's not very good....as you would expect from a less-than-mediocre director.
Trailer...
The(ir) Blurb...
An ex-con, fresh out of prison, goes to L.A. to try to learn who murdered his daughter. However, he quickly finds that he is completely out of place with no understanding of the culture he finds. His investigations are helped by another ex-con. Together they learn that his daughter had been having an affair with a record producer, who is presently having an affair with another young woman. An aging actress, who also knew his daughter, forces him to look at his own failures as a father. The movie does focus on the drama of the situation and the inter-relationships of the characters and seldom slips into an action piece.
