emilio estevez actually directed a good movie who woulda thought. i sat through two previous films estevez directed wisdom (with then girlfriend demi moore) and men at work (with brother charlie sheen). they are lousy films  badly acted and directed and stupid and offensive. estevez is a good actor but lousy as a director. i turned this on in pure curiousity it has a great cast and i had nothing else to do. damned if it do not pull me in. it concerns estevez coming home from vietnam permanently scarred by what happened over there. his parents (kathy bates and martin sheen) and sister (kimberly williams) try to reach him but can not. something in vietnam has affected him deeply. and he about to explode. a bit overlong but still very good. a lot of the material is familar but the cast is so good that they make it seem new. estevez is good and sheen is terrific (and estevezs real life father) and williams is touching and bates is just extraordinary trying to hold the family together. it all leads up to a powerful ending which really surprised me. well worth catching.
