Seriously sappy sob-o-rama.

A heart-affecting drama about a man who has to choose between a death that gives life or a death that kills.

Enjoyable but leaves to many unanswered questions.

This was really slow-moving to me, and it was hard to stay interested. Keaton's character wasn't very likable until about the last 30 minutes, and at that point I was bored and waiting for the movie to end.
