stepson, Leon, is killed in a construction "accident," and Mickey
quickly tries to bury the bad news with the body. But when a local columnist
comes sniffing around for the truth, things go from bad to worse. Mickey finds
himself stuck in a life-and-death struggle compounded by a body he can't bury,
a wife he can't please, and a debt he can't pay. Acclaimed actor John Slattery
makes an impressive jump behind the camera with an assured directorial
debut that shows he has a razor-sharp eye for conveying the absurdity, cruelty,
desperation, and tragic optimism of the people he portrays. Like life, his
scenes seamlessly fuse humor and heartbreak, but it's Slattery's wit and
confident style that make the portrait so authentic. Featuring a top-shelf cast
and impeccable cinematography, God's Pocket oozes with talent and marks the
emergence of an inspired directorial presence.
