christian slater and kevin bacon do a great job and the supporting cast is also on the money. christopher young's main theme is absolutely beautiful. for these reasons, the movie gets 2 stars. however, i do not understand why they choose a real person, henry young, as main protagonist when the real person and the one portrayed here have absolutely nothing in common. learning about the real henry young really leaves a bit of a sour taste in my mouth and is reason why i will probably not watch this again.
