I will admit first that I didn't pay full attention to this film when it was on, but this directorial debut from Men in Black and Bill & Ted writer Ed Soloman looked alright. Basically Manuel Jordan (Billy Bob Thornton) killed a teenager while attempting a robbery, and after 23 years he has been released from prison. He is hoping to find redemption returning to his home city, and he ends up working for preacher Miles Evans (Morgan Freeman) in a community house. He also becomes friends with the sister of his victim, Adele Easley (Holly Hunter), hoping to be forgiven. He also has interactions with a famous singer's druggie daughter, Sofia Mellinger (Kirsten Dunst), with no adult responsibility. That's really all the story I got. Also starring Dorian Harewood as Mackie Whittaker, Geoffrey Wigdor as Abner Easley, Luke Robertson as Young Abner Easley, Billoah Greene as Don, Manuel Aranguiz as Senor Aguilar and Catherine Colvey as Claire Mellinger. I'm sure if I was watching properly I could give the performances and the film itself better credit, but I guess what I did see was enough. Worth watching!
