Knowing the real people, the real town, this movie falls flat on its face.
It gives a ridiculous portrait of Lewan as naive and kind and generous instead of the calculating criminal he became in fleecing old people of their life savings.
The mother in law is way too over the top in your face.
The wife is virtually a non entity.
It is a boring, awfully acted, awfully produced picture that used a Rhode Island location instead of the more realistic Pennsylvania.
Thankfully its not in the actual movies where one would have to buy a ticket.
