Overall pretty good dramedy, although it lacks laughs and runs on a bit too long. However the cast is fantastic and leads to a feel good conclusion. Unfortunately the film does fall apart during the climax as the film tries to make us believe a drunk old man can overpower three strapping young men fighting for their lives. It is a wholly unnecessary action sequence which cheapens the whole effort.

The big sense you get out of this doc is that the people who made and starred in it seriously cared about this movie... And they were never told it was made purely for legal reasons. That's what's heartbreaking. Nowadays legal movies still find a release, even if…
