There is one primary reason to watch this: Sam Elliot. It's the only reason I really queued this up, because he's a good actor and a likable guy that generally gives the audience a good performance. And in this movie he's not even afraid to poke a little fun at himself as the many years spokesman for "Beef, it's what's for dinner". That out of the way, this movie isn't going to knock your socks off. It's heartfelt and interesting but a bit slow to get to a good place to get you attached to the character in a meaningful way. That's not saying it's bad but you have to be patient for the reward. This isn't going to be a movie you are likely to re-watch every few years, but once a decade it'll be good to blow the dust off of it and watch a solid performance by one of the really cool actors.

Slow-moving slice of life is similar to films you have seen before (including The Wrestler as a previous commenter mentioned), but thanks to Sam Elliot and another wonderful performance, the film manages to maintain interest until the end.

**The tale of an aging iconic actor!**

This film is kind of honours Sam Elliott for his real life achievement. Anyway, he was phenomenal. The film was realistic, so most of the parts were slow moving. This is about an aging film actor, who has not worked on any projects recently. So desperate to More

You’ve seen this before and probably recently, it was called ‘The Wrestler’ and starred Micky Rourke. Honestly the themes, the tone, the characters, it is all the same. Not only that the film says nothing new, unless you’re fairly young you’ve seen this all before.

There is nothing wron More
