Very Compelling, 24 November 2001
Author: herkis1000 from New York, NY

This story is one of the most compelling and tragic that I have ever seen. I felt very emotional watching it; it was definitely a sure tear-jerker. I saw it on Cinemax last night, and was immediatedly absorbed. I recommend that you rent it.
