Interesting stories about this movie.

The script was #1 on "the blacklist" a couple of years ago. Then the Mel audio tapes came out on the last day of shooting. Then the studio holds the release.

From what I have heard..... Mel is awesome in this.

So, i hade read many critical raves about this film. Finally showed up at the house via netflix. Really, really good film. Mel Gibson, too bad he's such a douche, because he was awesome in this.

A really hard story about depression and loss, and the efforts to overcome both. Certainly not a fun movie.

But well worth a watch.

Yeah, Mel was outstanding as usual. Man he's looking old. Jennifer Lawrence was pretty good too.

June Cleaver was hot!

That's how you know you're getting old. She used to be just Mrs Cleaver to us, nothing else. Now I see this hot mama bending over the sink in her heels and pearls and all I can think is "Pearl Necklace". :D
