Run the Wild Fields (2000)
Underrated
Simply put, this is a well done film full of characters you come to care about. Joanne Whalley is perfect in this and one of the best roles I have ever seen her in. She is quite believable as a N. Carolina mother. These are the types of roles she's most brilliant at. As the mysterious drifter, Tom, Sean Patrick Flanery, too, stands out in a role that could easily be over-played. The drifter's background is slowly leaked out through the course of the movie, keeping you interesting and wanting to know more about him and those that come to care for him. Alexa Vega was also brilliantly cast in a very mature role for a young actor. While the ending was not what I would have liked (just the romantic in me talking) and the film's plot theme has been done many times before in other films, it doesn't spoil the overall goodness of this movie.

Save Your Money
Plot? What plot? Who needs a plot? Screenplay? Was there one or did they just "wing" it? Because this doesn't resemble anything written by Anne Rice. When your lead actor is already apologizing for the movie, there is a problem. Save your money. There are other things you can do with 100 minutes of your time. This movie isn't one of them.
