"You're a strange man."
"Shhh. Tell no one."
When Bobby Garfield (David Morse) learns of the death of his old school chum Sully, he returns to his hometown for the funeral and finds that his other best friend, Carol, had also passed away. When Bobby drives by his childhood home, he thinks of the fun times he'd had with young Carol (Mika Boorem) and Sully (Will Rothhaar). He also pondered the curious boarder, Ted Brautigan (Anthony Hopkins) who his distant, cold, widowed mother (Hope Davis) had taken in as a boarder.
The young Bobby (Anton Yelchin) spent a lot of time with the boarder, earning money by reading to the old man who was losing his sight. But over time, he realizes that the boarder is deeply mysterious, is fearful of being found by "the low men," sometimes falls into trances, and appears to know things that otherwise would be unknown to anyone else.
Others in the cast include Alan Tudyk, Adam LeFevre, Celia Weston, Deirdre O'Connell.
From a story by Stephen King and directed by Scott Hicks.
Run time: 1 hour, 41 minutes
Rated PG-13 for some violence and thematic elements.
My personal rating: B+
