Movie Haiku:DOES NOT MEET CRITERIA. Empty exercise in father/son bonding has "bad boy" from a small town making good in the big city, then returning home to defend his cancer-stricken Dad in a murder trial. Employs every cliché in the book, grinding us down in 2.5 hours of utterly implausible dreck. Someone please give Robert Downey Jr. the SPIDERMAN "responsibility" speech!!!
