Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Justina The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Corruption via payoffs to highly influential people in government and financial institutions as well as public agencies results in their getting their way.Voight who is their 'fixer' is called on to bribe and coerce the opposing players on behalf of the scoundrels.He has an experience upon pondering his life and how he is responsible for the continuation of corruption of systems and people.

He confides in a bishop of the church who hears his confession and sees his desire to change his ways.Things are not so easy when the corrupt officials refuse to let Voight get out of the loop. Voight now faces the reality of what his life-style has lead to and begins planning a way out.The tension mounts as the bosses apply pressure to keep Voight in their fold. The fixer finally makes some irreversible decision that lead to tragic circumstances in his life. All of this is focused on his love for family and especially to regain the respect and love of his adolescent son. Great story line and acting by seasoned professionals.

FilmLabRat Very unique story about a turnaround life in organized crime.... I would think it's hard to imagine such a possibility, but this is a very realistic film, without minimizing the costs, the hardness of what might be involved. A lot of art, creative camerawork and imagery for a television movie, too. Well-written and masterfully directed.

Anticriticdotnet This is probably one of if not the best movie about one man fighting his inner demons to change himself. Jon voight gives a powerful performance as the fixer of the rich people's problems who has a change of heart. This movie will make you feel for jon the whole way through and never stop. The cast is great too besides him, everyone fits nicely in their role and are neither too over done or under done. Jon Voight is the only real shiner in this one but god does he shine. I can easily say that this is my favorite jon voight film and i've seen quite a few of his movies. I highly recommend this for anyone that wants a feel good movie with added in thrills and drama. I promise that you will like it as much as i did.
