Ratings and reviews

John m Jackson is a great method actor in this. Breaks my heart. But a fellow Texan who's a good old boy, is a southern gentleman. The 1st movie I saw him in. Save for a few good men." He's going to hell in a hand basket"JAG. You gotta be good to act straight on that show. Around the 80's ladies,that left. But spit fire grill is a 5.

I Watched This Movie When HBO Claimed It As One of Their Own. I'd Give It 10 Stars If I Could! If You Have Heart And Are Sentimental For Others....This Movie Will Move You With Tears Of Heartache and Of Joy!

This movie has stuck with me for years. I have introduced people to this movie and they've loved it. It's one of those movies you feel deeply in your soul and it's cleansing and beautiful. It isn't an easy watch because it forces you to examine your heart and mind but if you want to grow a little as a person, watch this movie!!!!
