Summary: An inmate named Chance gets released and tries to run away from his past, but his past partners, a childhood friend and a crooked cop tries to bring him back in. His father is also the leader of the AB from the prison that he was recently arrested from. The movie flashes back to when the father brutally kills a neighbor with a possible good reason, and the son trying to not end up making the same choices his father did.
Review: Ed Harris who plays the father was excellent in the role, and Peter Weller who plays a shady character was decent as well. The rest of the cast was solid, but wasn't spectacular.
Further Question/Philosophy/Theme: The definition of insanity is doing something over and over again expecting different results. Can we really run away from who we are? Do we really have any choice in the choices we do make? Should our choices really define us when the results vary so much because of quantum mechanics. Rose, the aunt of the son, is blind and shows the importance in a cactus that she makes everyone touch despite the obvious results of being pricked and the bleeding that ensues. It brings back moments of reality and what our senses are.
Power Rating (Out of 5) and Comments: 3 The film was shot well, but the story wasn't that deep and it lacked depth. It was still a solid enjoyable watch, but lacked any great moments.
