I went to see this movie simply because it stars the American actor Robert De Niro, whom I really like. As a result, I have to say that the movie wasn’t so bad. But it may be a bit of a missed opportunity to make a really good drama, because the theme would be great for that. Anyway, De Niro played his character absolutely convincingly and it was because of him that I enjoyed the movie so much. His son was different and it was obvious. You had to get used to him. However, if it weren’t for De Niro, this movie would have drowned in sheer mediocrity, because he was the one who made an interesting experience out of it. His character changed before our eyes and showed that no matter who the person closest to you is, you still never know what to expect.
