A visit to his mother finds a playwright being held as a hostage by his ex-con neighbor. Pretty interesting movie about a politically outspoken writer on a downward slide who finds his career salvaged by the downward spiral and death of his ex-con neighbor he knew as a child. Hollyweird never ceases to amaze me on its inability to connect with rank and file America through their characters. Their endless insistence that anyone pro American is 'right-wing' while rejecting that being anti American is 'left wing' is as mindless as it is inaccurate. Be that as it may they don't beat that drum too hard while doing a fair job of comparing the differences between those on the upper strata of society and those living on the bottom. All in all a fairly enjoyable and entertaining viewing experience.
