Worst movie ever, so boring that you rather be sleeping!!!! Thought might be good cause of Richard Gere but it's just crap!!!!

Well casted, well acted, well filmed... all of which makes this complete nothing of a film more irritating.An incessantly interrupted dinner...which I realize is the point, but after about the tenth halt to all action just for the point of being frustrating... got more and more tedious as each pretentious and overwraught course was served. Two couples, related, arguing about long-held grudges, moving slowly, slowly, slowly to the point: a serious incident involving their children. Very serious.The tense relationships between all parties is revealed slowly slowly slowly via flashbacks, as is the incident in question.Then we reach a scene which should be the climax, but the movie ends mid-scene with no resolution and we are taken to the credits.No resolution.No character arcs.No plot developments.Just a lot of backstory and a really frustrating and pretentious meal.If you want to be put into an irritated mood with a general desire to slap every person you see for the next several hours, by all means, subject yourself to this self-indulgent bit of nothing. I'm pretty sure that the entire message of the movie is: Don't refuse the dessert course, you will piss off the wait-staff and they will argue with you about your poor choice. It was the only coherent scene in the entire miasma of irritation.

This is a terrible movie. Two sons of one of the families burn a homeless lady to death, and 3 of the 4 parents involved are perfectly fine with covering up the crime. They argue forever and the one parent (Richard Gere's character), that wants to do the right thing is finally worn down and agrees to go along with the cover-up. This movie is the kind of amoral drivel that rightfully gives Hollywood a bad name. And it is also extremely boring. I will be more careful to read reviews so I avoid this kind of excrement in the future. Hopefully, this review will help spare someone the loss of two hours of their life watching absolute garbage. I would have given it zero stars if I could.

This movie was not well crafted. It had too many plots that did not correlate. I initially thought it was about Paul's mental illness, but the plot veered into a million different directions. Although the mothers seem to be fighting to protect their sons, they come off as callous and show no thought of how their sons murdered a homeless woman with no remorse (until they believed they would have repercussions). Finally, the ending is so abrupt and left me confused about what the entire purpose of the movie was because nothing was resolved.
