It's almost sad to say this but this film really irritated me. This could, although, have to do with the translation of the title into Swedish. In Sweden the movie is called "A second chance", but has absolutely nothing to do with second chances. It's more about saying - Hey buddy! You screwed things up 13 years ago - suffer!
Other movies with a similar theme always give us some sort of closure, but this only maintains the fact that you have to get it right the first time, otherwise you've missed it.
OK, Nicolas Cage is excellent - as always, so is the rest of the cast, but the story only leaves you with a feeling of "Why?", and that several questions remain unanswered. For instance - what is the meaning of the bicycle-bell?
If this movie is supposed to be a "feel-good" movie - why doesn't it make you feel good?
