This is a gritty, depressing story on the whole. Some people may be put off because it's Nicholas Cage, who I actually like, but he acts particularly well in this. Good performances all round really.
An interesting fact is the man who plays the drunk violent father was actually a local homeless man given the role by the director. The guy, Gary Poulter, died on the streets a couple of months after filming. His was probably the best performance.
