Meh movie about a retiring parole officer whose last case is a southwest Detroiter convicted of arson 8 years before. Had the focus been on Norton instead of De Niro this may have been a better movie. De Niro's performance was fine, it was the character that was terrible. I get why the guy was so blah, he had absolutely no joy to his life. But why would you want to make a movie about such a character. Probably because of the intrigue created at Norton's wife, Jovovich seducing De Niro into a favorable opinion of her husband. But that's such an insignificant part of the movie--it could have been hinted at or told and a better story resulted by the focus being on Norton and his religious transformation. De Niro's character just didn't care about anything and I didn't care about him. This is one of those where the preview implied one thing and the movie gave me another, like Bug. Ugh! Bug.
They passed an old woman who was just opening the door of a brown Cadillac. An old man was already sitting in the passenger seat. The car had a personalized plate with the letters “J-U-S-P-R-A-Y”.
“That stuff work?” Israel said to her.
“‘Scuse me?” the little old woman said, clutching her keys.
“The spray. Does it keep them away?”
“Keep who away?” She looked confused.
“I gotcha.” Israel gave her a conspiratorial wink.
