A movie star whose career is slowing down, considers taking on a role in an extremely low budget movie. In order to research the role, he decides to spend some time in a cheap mini-market on the wrong side of town. Whilst there, he is immediately drawn to one of the cashiers.
Through some extremely meaningful exchanges of support, courage and humour, they develop a friendship in one day that will change their lives forever.
The fact that Morgan Freeman is basically playing himself, and that the movie itself is low budget, ads a subtle humour. You expect him to turn to the camera at any moment and go..wink wink nudge nudge.
The movie is touching but very slow moving and lacks impact. Vin Diesel fans need not apply.
It doesn't hurt to have an actor of Morgan Freeman's gravitas in any movie and without him this movie would be boring.
I take my hat off to Morgan, who could have just as easily chosen to make yet another SEVEN or another ALONG CAME A SPIDER a-la "who did it" movies but chose not to.
Touching, but lacks charisma.
Rent it, don't go to the cinema.
Ting'n Ting.
