Quotes
[last lines]
Marshall: [voice-over] Why do you fight it so hard, Earl?
Mr. Earl Brooks: [whispering to himself] God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time and enjoying one moment at a time, accepting hardships as the pathway to peace. Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is and not as I would have it, trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His will, that I may be reasonably happy in this life, and supremely happy with Him forever in the next. Amen.

Dark And Amusing

I thought this movie was great , seems to be slammed by many , not sure why ?

I thought taht it was slick and clever, and quite witty, it's always good to see Kevin Costner in a different role , and I love William Hurt, (RIP), he is always so entertaining .

Demi Moore was also good as the tough stubborn cop , like a dog with a bone !

Good entertainment , don't take it too seriously !
