Robert Longfellow (Martin Donovan) is a playwright who is tired of the NY scene. He's not into living in LA either even thought his family is there. He takes a break in his childhood home with his mom. Gus Williams (David Morse) is the lifelong next door neighbor. He's 57, a drunk, in and out of prison, and still lives with his mom.
Both of these actors are well seasoned. I was hoping for a lot more. However this feels like a writing exercise from writer/director Martin Donovan. This does improve when the actors are in the house together. The energy and the tension picks up a bit. I wish there was less time spent on the introduction. It's not really necessary. This movie works best as a 2-man play.
