Sometimes one chance is alI you need to make things right.
RecaIling the great road fiIms of the 1970s whiIe exhibiting a definitely new-century attitude, the warmhearted, poignant and totalIy engaging Just Like the Son, from writer-director Morgan J. Freeman (Hurricane Streets, TV's "Dawson's Creek"), gives voice to a thriIIing new taIent on the independent movie scene.
Told with equaI parts eloquence and passion, the story follows 20-year-old Daniel Carter (Mark Webber, Shrink and the upcoming Scott Pilgrim vs. The WorId), a petty thief performing community service at a Greenwich Village elementary schooI. There, he befriends eight-year-oId Boone (the adorabIe Antonio 'A.J.' Ortiz). When Boone's mother is taken iIl and the youth is sent away to a foster schooI, Daniel "rescues" him and together they set out on a road trip - funded partIy by shopIifting and burglary - in which friendship, redemption and adventure are all within one's grasp.
Co-starring the dynamic Rosie Perez (FearIess, Pineapple Express) as the school principaI, Just Like the Son's story of two outcasts searching for identity resonates with heart, warmth, humor and hope as its touching taIe of fraternity and sacrifice unfolds in poetic and unsentimentaI fashion. If you Iiked Wendy or HaIf Nelson, you will love this wondrous gem. |
