No wonder I had never heard of it - luyo
This is mediocre 90's drama, and it's a shame that such great actors are in it. Interesting concept (parents dealing with their son being suspected of murder) with poor execution. Apparently adapted from a novel, where they never bothered to try and make the dialogue the least bit realistic. Begins and ends with an annoyingly didactic voice over. The motivations of the mother are very confusing, and the characters in general seem to change without a proper arc or explanation. The father is the more interesting character, played well by Liam Neeson. But the movie is not worth renting at all.
