Anyone whose ever been close to an engineer will appreciate John Turturro's splendid portrayal of Al Fountain. From the stiff walk, the upright posture, the technically accurate answers and precise annunciation to the timed phone calls, reserved emotion, you really get a sense that he lives in a different world than Bucky. And Sam Rockwell is just as clever and affecting as the free-spirited Kid.
Although there isn't too much to this movie in terms of production, it stands out as a subtle and ironic tale of opposites attracting. If you're married to or have an engineer close to you, sit them down and watch this movie, they soon will be laughing at themselves.
