The by-line for the film explains the whole plot including the spoiler that the girl (Fiona Dourif) was the daughter Frank (Paul Sorvino) didn't know he had for 20 years. She is a junkie and I thought the title should have been "Chasing the Dragon", but there was some gold which poorly plays into the film. Now if the gold was in the shape of a dragon, we would of had a great metaphor.
Frank investigates the murder and robbery of Charley , a retired cop. We have a pretty good idea what is going on and the various relationships before they are revealed....except for maybe that gold thing. The title and DVD cover is a bit misleading, but not overly so.
The plot was fairly well constructed. The dialog was dry which made the characters cardboard.
Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.
