It's an early May morning, the sun is shining and a new Jeffrey Dean Morgan movie is peeking at me, and I say, why not. First full feature directed by veteran actor Tom Wright, written by Michael Milillo, starring David Strathairn and Jeffrey Dean Morgan as the strong supportives, and with the yet unknown Julian Feder in the lead role, "Walkaway Joe", quite misleadingly labeled an "action" movie on IMDb (as of May 8th), is an on-the-road drama about fathers, sons, mistakes and legacies.
I was expecting a lot more from this movie. I'm a Jeffrey Dean Morgan fan and I don't feel that he lived up to his potential.
This is one I will watch again with my husband and kids. Jeffrey Dean Morgan plays a father, who has left his wife and son.
The film wasn't rated, but I think it would probably be a PG or PG13 movie. There is some smoking, some mild violence and one or two curse words.
I loved this movie! It is a great story filled with rich, complex characters.
This film was not only visually stunning but left a lasting impact through the nuanced character dynamics. With a familiar tone of a western redemption, the modern performance-driven story was family-friendly while still portraying the grit and charisma of small-town individuals in the competitive world of pool tournaments.
Somebody mentioned that they didn't understand why all the good reviews and that they gave up halfway through. Well chances are the good reviews came from people who stuck it out till the end.
It starts a bit slow but soon enough Dallas is able to warm our hearts and give the meaningful point across. Really Good acting, music and scenery.
I think this film should at least be a 8. Love the storyline and the build up of the characters right to the very end.
