Harry Sweeney (James Sheridan) and several of his friends were together in the military in Vietnam many years ago. During that time, on a drunken bender, something awful happened that nearly killed one of five. THey put this out of their minds and have lost contact for decades. Suddenly Harry gets a call from Tom Kelly (Steve Buscemi) who is on his deathbed. He is terrified that he is going to hell for what they did, and begs Harry to find the one they nearly killed and apologize before him before he dies. Reluctantly Harry agrees and sets out on a quest to find the other 3 including their victim. During the quest, he brings all of them back into the horrible thing that they have all been trying their best to forget.
This is a Netflix Watch Instantly film, and is a very interesting dramatic film. There are lots of secrets and things these guys are trying to forget, but it becomes important for them to remember to try to make things right. It’s a very dramatic story, dark in some ways and certainly very touching. As youths they did something they want to wipe out of their memories, but sometimes you have to get to the truth before it’s too late. I think this is a pretty interesting little film, and certainly not bad for a “watch instantly” film. It’s got some decent acting, especially Steve Buscemi, although his part is small, and Jamey Sheridan in the lead role. He’s tough on the outside, but much softer and gentler on the inside. If you like a film with good character development, then this is a good choice.
