Add a Commentmy dad loves this movie, when i take it out for him, he gets very happy!
This movie was entertaining but not one of my favorite for this year. “Not too bad---good performance”.
It was O.K for a home TV movie. I was entertained. But it was NOT worth a long library wait or the price to rent from a Red Box.
