Wendell Baker Story- A Nothing Biography **
29 December 2007
Warning: Spoilers
The Wilson Brothers- Owen and Luke star in this film which is basically nothing with nothing.

Luke, as the corrupt individual bilking Medicare patients, is totally unconvincing here as well as out-of-character. He still appears that he can be taken to the cleaners at any time.

Who cares if Eva Mendes wants Owen or not. She is totally unappealing in her role.

Owen starts out as a smuggler of illegal Mexican immigrants and after he is jailed and pardoned, he is assigned to work at a senior citizens' residents where he sees much corruption.

Harry Dean Stanton is also dead-pan in his role as one of the seniors. Isn't he always? It's nice seeing Seymour Cassel in a film? He was so appealing years ago in his supporting Oscar nominated performance in "Faces."

Even the ending here is unappealing. Big surprise that good will eventually triumph over evil.

Who was Kris Kristoferson supposed to be in this film? Howard Hughes?
