someone below asked what this movie is supposed to be. I watched this with my dad. He loved and grew up with Burt Reynolds. I remember how popular Burt Reynolds was...certainly the biggest movie star for a decade. My dad cried through the entire movie. At the end he hugged me and said "I love you son" for showing it to him. Its a movie about taking stock of the way you've lived your life. Its a movie about how fast life goes by, about thinking you're gonna live forever, about not appreciating the present until its behind you, about being on top, and then losing it all, but then gaining it all back again with a great Act Three. What is this movie you ask?...its a phenomenal film. Its an acting tour de force. Rest In Peace Burt. - @Sunday, September 9, 2018 3:06 AM

I was never a fan of Mr Reynolds. I felt he was...I dunno, but, as he passed away, today, I read the NY Times obit, and they mentioned this film. Normally that would be that, but, I read about this film - saw this trailer, and I gotta say; Mr Reynolds...Burt 😉, he really made a fine little picture. It's becoming the rarity with the fast(er) turnover for 'new meat' in H'wood, that anyone can develop anything close to having a relatively long career anymore. With the cost going (way to far) up, and the quality plummeting, the number of films made is very small, and this means one can't develop a 'foothold' anymore - is not only'you're only as good as your last picture ', it's your only around as long as your most recent paycheck. Studios won't pay - they'll just get new faces, at a lower price (it's passed is as 'rebooting 😉 a project'), so having ANY one who's been able to consistently work as Mr Reynolds will soon become as rare as the Dodo ('the what', some idiotic millennial would say 😩). This film Isn't flashy, but it's full of really good performances all around, and for someone (me) who never 'got' Burt, what a nice way to say 'adios' - @Friday, September 7, 2018 6:18 PM
