I saw this movie late in the evening, and I figured I would only watch a few minutes, but I ended up seeing the whole movie (2 hours and 15 minutes)
Billy Bob Thornton perfectly plays a retard (that is what they call him in the movie)
who after spending 25 years in a mental institution have to cope in a society that he never used to fit.
After some confusion he finally meet a family he thinks of as his own.
This is a touching drama where he in the end has to make a huge sacrifice to keep the ones he love safe.
I'm not a big fan of drama, but this one with the stron acting and convincing story line deserves at least a 5
