There is the point where the story is a joke so while at another point he was so touch a story between father and son who have been long separated. But if you look deeper, this film actually mengusung also a social critique about the environment began to forget the latter. And more good, both Michael Douglas and Evan Rachel Wood is able to portray their characters with more natural look so convincing.
