Title: Glad I Bought it Used!
Review: This movie, based on Cape Cod author Joseph Lincoln's book, "Cap'n Eri", was shot in my home town (the film was originally titled "Chatham"), which made it somewhat entertaining for me to watch. That said, it is absolutely the worst film I have ever seen.I'd rather not relive the horror by going into too many details, just suffice it to say that it was scripted badly, directed badly and, for the most part, acted badly (Bruce Dern, however, did an OK job).The highlight of the movie was at the very end, when Rip Torn, struggling the entire time to portray what he perceived was a "Cape Cod" accent, suddenly developed an Irish brogue. I'm pretty sure he was drunk.Don't end up on your death-bed, wishing you had back the 97 minutes of your life you wasted on this film. Run, don't walk, and buy or rent something else. Yes, it is THAT bad.Thank God I bought the DVD used - if I had paid full-price, I'd shoot myself.
