  • This movie hits home. I have friends who lost someone one that terrible day. Closure is good when you find it.

  • Do check out the background on this talented young actor. His is a role with extensive dialogue which he has mastered without a comprehensive acting background

  • The movie brings back memories of what happened on that particular day in time.Some may relate or perhaps relive the moment. For whatever reason,it is a MUST see movie for me.
