This is the story of a man trying to stay true to his principles. The title, as such, is misleading. Of course, you start off on the wrong foot when you suggest one type of movie and deliver another. You can recover if the movie you deliver is exceptional. This movie is not. The reason? The biggest conflict is the internal one. This requires a very gifted actor. One who can communicate the torment of the decisions he has to make. We have seen performances like this from some of the great actors of the past, those who can communicate a range of feelings without saying a word. Oscar Isaac is not such an actor. Nor does the husband wife conflict ever result in more than raised voices but certainly not raised emotions. Nor is the prospect raised that the father-in-law could easily get them money they need based on his mob connections. If it had, would have turned this down? We'll never know. I'm afraid I see the acting as wooden. Jimmy Stuart conveys more torment in "It's a Wonderful Life" even though that is certainly not one of my favorites. It's too bad that the concept was poorly acted, poorly titled, and not fully fleshed out.
