This movie is a wonderful family movie. It helps you to understand that be careful how you say things in anger and then depart without saying you're sorry. You never know when it will be the last time before life tragically ends. The movie had to powerful lead actors as the parents.(Michael Learned & Richard Chamberlian. That a family even though they are going through their own grief that they come together in the time of crisis to show the true love they have for each other. It is graphic but it is reality of how cruel criminals can be. If you ever get a chance to watch this move of love and a family determination to bring their son and brother through a tragic act of violence, to regain his life. Hopefully it will come to video or DVD soon.
