A hard working doctor suffers a heart attack and is saved by a patient.

Rating of 2 stars out of 5

Donald Sutherland (MASH, Ordinary People) plays a doctor who suffers a heart attack while running a facility for the disabled. When a mentally challenged janitor (Matthew Fox) saves his life, he becomes the doctor's surrogate son — much to the chagrin of Sutherland's own son, who has long felt neglected by his father. Fox and Sutherland deliver honest performances under Tom McLoughlin's steady direction, while the emotional power of this sometimes maudlin true-life story ensures it's never boring.

A Customer from Poole, Dorset, 12th January, 2006

This is a perfect Sunday afternoon movie about a man who spends all his time working and has neglected his relationship with his son. Without trying to ruin the plot for you, he has a heart-attack and is saved by a young guy with mental problems who shows him that there is more to life than work and helps him rebuild the relationship with his son. If you don't have tears in your eyes at the end of this movie, then you have a heart of stone! Excellent performances from Donald Sutherland and Matthew Fox (before he found fame in Lost!). Rent this movie!
