This is another little film that held my interest more than the hyped up films sitting in theaters this summer. Samuel L. Jackson is an ex-musician/husband/father -- now a Central Park cave dweller - who is determined to solve a murder, mainly to win the respect of his cop daughter.
The story is very good, as is the casting and the acting. But the film seems rather pretentiously made in parts and Jackson's character is problematic. There is no explanation as to why a brilliant man with such moments of amazing lucidity should have shunned his wife and child and chosen homelessness rather than some sort of treatment. Still, an interesting film to see on video.
