I'll never understand the Academy Awards personnel. They hand out awards like they're candy to some pretty lame movies yet because of an actors film history he is completely ignored. I'm sorry people if I sound naïve but Paul Walker should have received some kind of recognition for this film. A lot of talk is spread, around Hollywood, about how great a solo act this one or that one put on, but not even a mention was made concerning this film. For over 90% of this film Walker is acting solo. and he does a damned good job. Tom Hanks received all kinds of acclaim for his solo role as did Robert Redford, but Paul Walker is left holding his rear-end. I'm not saying that Hanks and Redford don't deserve the acclaim they received, but to leave the now deceased Walker on the back burner is totally wrong.
Even a non-fan of Walkers would enjoy this film for at least two reasons. 1) It is not one with cars going all over the place and 2) it is not the average character and represents a very sad time in America's history. Best of all politics are left completely out of the picture. Instead what we see is a grim reminder of what humanity is very realistically made of. Paul in some parts is the anti-hero, but for the most part he plays a very convincing role as a grieving husband and a father going to any lengths to keep his newly born daughter alive. I give this film a very solid 41/2 stars.

Amazing, able to keep you riveted to the screen with just one person talking to himself.
