DramaCrime

A mysterious criminal rolls into a small town planning to knock off the local bank, assuming it will go off without a hitch. But when he encounters a retired poetry professor, his plans take an unlikely turn. With no place to stay, the professor generously welcomes him into his home. As the two men talk, a bond forms between these two polar opposites, and surprising moments of humor and compassion emerge. As they begin to understand each other more, they each examine the choices they've made in their lives, secretly longing to live the type of lifestyle the other man has lived, based on the desire to escape their own.

Pretty dull and pseudo-cerebral. The music tries to make every single scene something super meaningful. But really it's just two sad men with regrets who have no clue how to find true happiness. One is sad that he didn't make bad decisions in life. One is sad that he did. In succumbing to this sadness, they both exhibit the inability to be or become content. (Philippians 4:11)
