The film also features performances by Shawn Christian, John Hawkes (who also turned in an impressive performance in this yearu0026#39;s u0026#39;WINTERu0026#39;S BONEu0026#39;), and Bre Blair. Itu0026#39;s written and directed by TV director Ryan Craig, who also plays a part in the film. Pine not only acts in the film but also wrote the song u0026#39;Someday Came Todayu0026#39; for the movie (and sings).u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003ePine plays Rhett Ryan, a small time country singer / songwriter with dreams of making it in Nashville. Just days before heu0026#39;s supposed to leave the small town of Prospect to follow his dreams his girlfriend (Blair) tells him sheu0026#39;s not going with him and has decided that whatu0026#39;s best for her daughter might be to stay with her father, Tommy Carson (Christian), the town sheriff. Tommyu0026#39;s brother Donnie (Hawkes) just got out of prison and has came back into town getting himself in more trouble again.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe film is well made and the characters are all pretty believable and their drama realistic. The acting is all impressive, especially Pine and Hawkes, and the directing is adequate. The film isnu0026#39;t extremely entertaining or memorable and although the characters are believable itu0026#39;s not especially emotionally involving either but itu0026#39;s not a bad way to pass the time in my opinion. Thereu0026#39;s definitely nothing in it to really complain about. Itu0026#39;s a nice little movie.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWatch our review show u0026#39;MOVIE TALKu0026#39; at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CN5KZOE7p28”
