Touching Home is stronger when it focuses on the small-town life than when it steps on the ball diamond. The decent cast elevates it to a tolerable level.
While it does have some solid moments of action, the film as a whole is laughable.
The issues it tackles are just as relevant now (if not more so) than they were when the film was first released theatrically back in 1997.
The reason why Gone Baby Gone works so well is the attention to which Boston is portrayed. The urban neighbourhood is like another character in an already strong cast, one that has needs and desires just like everyone else.
A grim exploration of [humanity’s] futile attempts to repress the urge for violence.
