All three actors acquit themselves well, particularly Bent as Dunston, a soulful man trying to leave his violent past behind.

Rather improbably, two of the three are handed happy endings so the requirements of drama do belatedly trump political lessons in Home Again.

Unfortunately, Sudz Sutherland's film ultimately fails in giving us a well-rounded and emotionally backed character story, but does a good job in introducing a topic that hasn't been given a lot of attention.
