I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since I have a weak spot for Michelle Pfeiffer, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, I think it was actually an interesting story and the damned thing definitely had some potential.

Walter, 24, is a wrestler, competing for a spot on the national team when he learns of his sister's brutal death. He comes home to help his mother; he works out, takes a dead-end job, and goes to the trial of the accused murderer. He becomes friends with Linda, her husband murdered; she's raising a teen son, Clay, who's deaf. Walter gets Clay into wrestling. He accompanies Linda to events at a center where she works. He sees her at the courthouse. They wait for verdicts. Walter's mother takes her daughter's things to a rummage sale. Clay has his father's pistol. How will grief express itself?

Well, I think it was actually an interesting story and the damned thing definitely had some potential. On top of that, pretty much like with ‘Silver Linings Playbook’, I have a weak spot for such romances involving 2 broken souls falling in love for each other, probably because it’s also how I actually met my wife. Unfortunately, even if the directing was not bad, to be honest, it wasn’t really impressive either. For example, to start with a voice-over telling the thoughts of a deaf teenager was not necessarily a bad idea but the supposedly deep message felt more like some Facebook philosophy.
