Wow, what a film. no, not a lot of action, frankly, not too much speaking either. But Kevin Bacon's performance is outstanding. He conveys such emotion with his expressions and eyes and yet says very little.
The film is about disturbing subject matter (and knowing Uncle Polt like you do, THAT'S really saying something), but I'd recommend it jsut for Bacon's performance. The scene of him and Robin on the bench, it had me crying. It's a powerful perfomance, it truly is. But I know the subject matter will turn alot of people off. It's not glorifying or promoting anything though. Be warned, definately adult themes.
