Because Robert Duvall won the Best Actor Oscar for Tender Mercies, I thought I was going to see the performance
of his career.
However, I'm disappointed. It's so ordinary that he had done better in like...twenty other films. Give me
The Apostle, The Great Santini,
Apocalypse Now, Days of Thunder, or
M*A*S*H, and I'll be satisfied for a week. The movie per se is okay, but hardly much happens.
All in all, Tender Mercies isn't more than a Lifetime Movie of the Week.
