I have seen some bad films in my life, but this one may top the chart. This is one of those unwatchable movies that the critics praise because of the subject matter (the homeless--would be politically incorrect not to), despite the fact thatI have seen some bad films in my life, but this one may top the chart. This is one of those unwatchable movies that the critics praise because of the subject matter (the homeless--would be politically incorrect not to), despite the fact that there is no plot, no character development, and nothing about it worth sitting through. The homeless people are treated badly in the big cities? Is that the big message here? Gee, what a surprise! The so-called small budget ($5 million) would have done a lot more good had it actually been used to help those poor people instead of inflicting pain and boredom on the moviegoing audience. I certainly would have preferred giving my ticket amount to the homeless rather than waste it on this terrible excuse for entertainment. Expand

Really not good. Richard Gere portrays a homeless man; we find out how he went from regular guy to a lost soul. Lots of stereotype homeless situations. While Gere has always been a handsome guy, I've never felt he is a great actor. InReally not good. Richard Gere portrays a homeless man; we find out how he went from regular guy to a lost soul. Lots of stereotype homeless situations. While Gere has always been a handsome guy, I've never felt he is a great actor. In this movie, he needs to show many emotions of a man who has spiraled down into the bottom of society, and I didn't see it. I saw the usual Gere facial expressions, which I've seen in many movies, the last one being the Second Best Marigold Hotel. The stories and circumstances are vastly different but Gere seems the same. He shines in movies where he just has to look good, from American Gigolo to Chicago. Expand
