really simple and slow-moving story of a hollywood action star who has everything he wants...but doesn't really want any of it. he spends a few weeks with his 11-year old daughter, because mom decides she needs a break, and it creates "purpose" in his life again.
stephen dorff is really good in his role, as is elle fanning, who plays the daughter. they interact so sweetly together, even though they rarely acknowledge the need for each other, outwardly. but the viewer really feels their relationship building.
the movie also offers some insights as to what the glamorous life of stardom is all about: one just lays around, looking for something to do.
definitely a recommendation.
