Nathan W I almost wrote this one off too, but it really grew on me. I mean, there were some legitimately good performances from the main cast. Christopher Plummer was intense and passionate as he always is. A young Tye Sheridan, still cutting his teeth in the business, was surprisingly talented and moving. And John Travolta played the grieving father role rather convincingly. I will say that he was the weakest of the main trio, and his accent was a little distracting... And annoying. (I don't know why Travolta always has to do weird voices in these lower end movies, but it didn't sound Bostonian like it was supposed to). The overall story wasn't bad either, but some aspects of it worked better than others. You know, the police stuff lacked believability and was completely unremarkable. Almost didn't factor into the story at all. The art stuff wasn't the most interesting, but at least it was integral to the plot. The big heist at the end wasn't the most elaborate or exciting thing you ever seen, but they did the best with what they had. Where this movie really worked though, what I wish had been a bigger part of the film, was the family stuff. Without giving too much away, there was some heavy subject matter at the center of this film. Things that I initially disliked because they didn't make sense, came into focus. It added a measure of likability and relatability to our characters that wasn't there before. There were a number of emotional and touching scenes between a father and his son, who he would have done anything to make happy. I even got a little choked up at the very end, which almost never happens to me. So while the overall execution may not have been the best, this movies' heart was in the right place.

Even though the family was broken, the father still loved his son and found a way make him happy.
