Rites of Passage Reviews
VERY weird thriller...
And not because it involves a gay love story!
Jason Behr plays Campbell,a boy disowned by his lawyer father (Dean Stockwell)when he's caught in the act with another man.There are numerous flashbacks--which would have been powerful if the script were stronger.
Escaped convicts,hidden $$$,and so on get tangled into the plot.Campbell,his father&estranged brother get taken hostage--and just when you think it'll get suspenseful,it ends up getting VERY VERY VERY talky.It seems the screenwriter wasn't sure if this was going to be a thriller or a "coming out" movie.It makes for weird,kinda boring,early morning viewing...
The eternal parent/child conflict.
For whatever reason we each might have, the conflict between father and sons in this movie will resonate with most of us. I'm not a fan of violence, so that part of this was a little hard to take, but the childhood flashbacks and the lack of communication between parent and child I could easily relate to. Anyway, it's well done, and the final scene is so touching it might even make you cry.
