La critique de James Berardinelli (4)
The most intriguing character is neither Joe nor Lacey - both are so bland that fashioning a story around them is a dubious choice. Instead, it's Jimmy, who is plagued by a troubled past and an even less secure future. He's an intriguing individual with a number of personality quirks (he's deathly afraid of being struck by lightning - so afraid that, when caught out in the middle of a thunderstorm, he strips down to his underwear and crouches down in the best shelter he can find), but he isn't accorded much screen time. Certainly, a lot more could have been done about his relationship with John and Lacey, since they become reluctant big brothers to him, but the movie has to rush *on to other things.

*Budget oblige...C'est pour cette raison que le Cinéma -contrairement à la littérature-est un art de compromis
