Solid "real" drama about southern/poor white American culture and growing up in a small town today. And so much more than that. This movie touches on all sorts of things. The beauty of the natural world and grumminess of small town American. The freedom a vehicle of your own provides. What defines a "relationship" and love at different stage of life. Being happy with a simple family life living off the river. Fathers and sons and people who are like fathers and sons but not. Independent riverboat living vs modern family apartments. The Law and the "law". Being a man but not being the breadwinner. Being quiet and thoughtful and moral, a good person, yet needing to use your fists as the answer to every problem. This movie had a so much depth and the actors all pulled off their roles really well, even the side characters. Definitely a guys/fathers and sons movie as there lacked any real worthy female characters, which was the only criticism I really could lay on this film.
