This is quite an understated post-9/11 buddie movie. The performances by Al Thompson and Kareem Savinon make up in chemistry in what they might lack in technique. They do have the benefit of a very unique screenplay that touches upon an often ignored aspect of the 9/11 attacks, that being lost jobs and post traumatic stress. The two guys worked at the Statue of Liberty, which would be closed for an indefinite period after the attacks, which forces these to at-risk men to face limbo. It is their grasping for money and defining identities that fill the film. The diverging paths the friends take is deliberately paced. So, though the film reaches a satisfying climax, the denouement is just too long. It felt as if the film ended nearly fifteen minutes before it actually does. Chaiken may need to either tighten it up or take some ruthless editing to bring the film to a close, however ambiguous that might be. http://jaycbird.blogspot.com
