Based on the novel Foregone by Russell Banks

Leonard Fife, one of the sixty thousand draft dodgers and deserters who fled to Canada to avoid serving in Vietnam, shares all of his secrets in order to demythologize his mythologized life. This is the second time Paul Schrader has directed one of Banks’ novels on screen, following his adaptation Affliction (1997).

Well, you’d be wrong

Mentioned on Film Junk Podcast: Episode 961: In a Violent Nature + TIFF 2024 (2024). With a cast as great as Richard Gere, Uma Thurman, and Michael Imperioli, you’d think you’d have the star power to make a better movie than this.

Paul Schrader goes «experimental» in a movie that looks like something a first-year film student would make

Schrader claims to have been friends with the anti-war protester/filmmaker whose life story the film is based on, but with friends like that, who needs enemies? Richard Gere’s character becomes increasingly unlikeable and gradually loses the ability to express himself verbally as he rages at everyone around him, mumbling as he sinks into darkness.

In other words, he becomes like Paul Schrader today

Do yourself a favor and skip this movie, even on streaming I can’t imagine it being any better if you could pause it and leave the room to do more important things than watch this pathetic excuse for a movie.
