SETTING UP THE SCENE:
Looking to earn a bit of extra money over Thanksgiving break, prep-school student Charlie Simms (Chris O’Donnell) agrees to look after Frank Slade (Al Pacino), a blind and cantankerous retired Army officer with suicidal thoughts. After Slade forces Charlie to accompany him on an unplanned trip to New York City, they pay a surprise visit to his brother’s home.
