A film of pretty meagre ambition. It follows the events immediately after Jesse's liberation from his captors. It takes place over the course of a few days and concerns the practicalities of getting enough money to start a new life as well as revisitng (via flashback) some events from his past.

Only real downside is Ben Schwarz who is mis-cast and incredibly annoying.

That of Claudio and Hero is slightly less effective as Dead Poet's Society's Robert Sean Leonard overcooks…

At its heart, the film is a road trip taken by journalists as they journey to the dark, broken heart of America. Kristen Dunst is the grounded centre of the film. She's seen it all and is a reassuring presence. Cailee Spaeny is the protégé, bright eyed and bushy tailed but…
