My vote is AWFUL not so much or the film - which is quite good, but the appalling way the distributor has flushed this film down the toilet. Let's take stock - the film receives 100% rave reviews, plays every major film festival - and then tanks on opening weekend - a misread? I doubt it. ThinkFILM has simply does not have the "Harvey" touch - everything they touch turns to crap - this film was a shoe in - but the marketing and spin was DEAD wrong - you never make the wheelchair the hero in the campaign - WRONG - no one will come see a film about a wheelchair - case in point - BORN ON THE FOURTH OF JULY, COMING HOME - Jesus - how stupid are these think film people - they didn't even show Ironside in a chair in the promo spots. I feel sorry for the director of this solid film - he trusted a company that buried their last ten films - The Assassination of Richard Nixon, Tell Them Who You Are, Being Julia, Going UpRiver, Last Mogul, Kontroll, Festival express, Gospel of John and many others - Sad. Where is Harvey when you need him to save good films from amateurs. This was DOA with ThinkFilm
