I thought that this is one of the best movies I have ever seen in my life. The way Rory Cochrane plays John a young man, who tries to keep everyone away from him is just brilliant. Sometimes he almost seem like giving up. It a wonderful ride with these talented actors. Andrew, who suddenly drops into John's life is wonderfully played by Sean Astin. It is Andrew who finally touches John deeply and moves him. I highly recommend this flick to anybody out there!
