Ratings and reviews

Great movie! Amazing true story! Watched several times now. Highly recommended! That's all I will say, I don't like to give spoilers and ruin the movie experience for others. If you read this review first and don't like spoilers stop reading them. Apparently people don't know the difference between a review and giving the ending away.

I Watched This Movie 10 Times In Less Than A Week, So Good But Sad At The End. Jay Moriarty Didn't Deserve To Die At Such A Young Age.

This movie is awesome. For starters about someone from our own back yard is cool. The Actress & Actors and frankly everyone involved. Great job. We need more of these stories coming about from our small coastal towns. A story about someone's life, can change many others. That's why I'm trying to write mine so when I'm gone my children can tell it in a college project. I think it will help them in there life to come. God Bless all involved. Was a truly narly story of some amazing men & there families.
