No Real Benefit To This One
A very slow moving picture with a rather predictable story-line.

Richard Gere gets to play a quirky eccentric rich man who has his own demons to deal with and tries to make others happy by giving of his money and manipulation.

Dakota Fanning is a solid young actor who has a great career ahead of her but needs to steer clear of this type of movie. This did nothing good for her even if all she got was to work with Richard Gere.

Theo James is a mostly TV actor who I have never seen before but he carried his weight in this one well and was not overwhelmed by Gere and Fanning.

Great performance from Gere but the storyline dries up. 4/10
Review: Although Richard Gere is superb in this movie, I couldn’t really see the point of it. The film kicks off with Franny (Richard Gere) in the car with his two best friends, Mia (Cheryl Hines) and Bobby (Dylan Baker), and while he is hugging Bobby, who is driving, a speeding car hits there car and Franny manages to escape with fatal wounds but he sadly loses his two best friends. After those dramatic scenes, Franny becomes a recluse and ends up addicted to painkillers until he gets a call from Mia & Bobby’s pregnant daughter, Olivia (Dakota Fanning) who wants to come home with her boyfriend Luke (Theo James). After buying the couple a house, Franny does everything for the couple, out of guilt, because he feels responsible for the car crash but when he isn’t able to get anymore prescriptions for his painkillers, he becomes out of control, and he’s unable to hold it together. That part of the storyline is pretty straight forward but it doesn’t seem to go anywhere. I thought that Luke treated Franny quite terribly, after everything that he had done for him, and Olivia didn’t really interact with Franny, until the end, when he was struggling against his addiction. Anyway, it’s a watchable drama with some emotional scenes but the storyline dries up after a while.

Round-Up: Richard Gere, 66, isn’t one of those actors that takes on any and every project, that is brought to him and I must admit, some of his latest movies haven’t been that great but that’s not due to his great acting skills. Since his first movie, Operation Undercover in 1975, Gere has only made 50 movies, which have grossed nearly $1.5Billion, with Pretty Woman being his biggest hit with $178.5 million and he has become a household name with his dashing looks and cool demeanour. This movie was directed by Andrew Renzi, 31, who has only made 3 shorts in his career and a movie called Fishtail, which I personally haven’t heard of, so he hasn’t got that much experience behind the camera. He certainly got the most out of Richard Gere but from an entertainment point of view, it needed some other elements to keep it interesting.

Budget: N/A Worldwide Gross: $2million

I recommend this movie to people who are into their dramas starring Richard Gere, Theo James, Dakota Fanning, Cheryl Hines, Clarke Peters and Dylan Baker. 4/10
