Writer-director John Cassavetes presents one of his most
touching motion pictures with this story of the unlikely bond
between a cynical New Yorker and a young boy. Gloria (Gena
Rowlands), the quintessential tough-talkin' dame--complete with
time in prison and ties to the mob--has put those days behind her,
now living a quiet, solitary life. That changes when the Mafia
marks her neighbors for death and Gloria is asked to care for their
young son, Phil (John Adames). She reluctantly agrees, but because
the boy knows incriminating information, they must immediately go
into hiding, which takes them on a journey through New York City
and ends up sparking a mother-son bond that neither could have ever
expected. Cassavetes creates an empowering female role with Gloria,
and Rowlands (his real-life wife) runs with it, making her
transformation from bitter ex-criminal to overprotective, yet still
tough, mother figure seem honest and believable. It is this budding
maternal relationship that gives the film a sweetness even amid the
gun smoke.
