After Tommy Sparrow is severely wounded in a covert CIA operation, he comes home to discover his wife with another man. Tommy’s rage and wounds frighten his seven-year-old daughter Josephine. When Tommy’s wife tells him to leave and never come home, Tommy disappears back into the CIA, employing his skills as a spy to covertly watch his only daughter grow up.Twenty-five years later, Tommy Sparrow finally comes in from the cold – to retirement. Josephine is battling her own destructive nature and the damage done by the disappearance of her father. Tommy carries his scars both inside and out – and while his cold war operations never seem far behind, Tommy’s journey home will surpass any mission he ran with the Agency – because reuniting with Josephine and becoming her father may cost him his life.

Infilmreview The movie transcended many of the usual independent films. It certainly had a soul to it. It's not a movie packed with special effects that blow your mind nor is it an action packed movie. It's a movie that if you tune in, will bring you along at a very good pace as the relationships build and develop. My sense was the storyline wasn't as thick as it should have been and the villain should have had more impact, but nonetheless I think it was beautiful and I'd recommend it to an intelligent audience member. It's not exactly an intense action film but the story leaves you pondering afterward about your own relationship and a movie that leaves you thinking. The direction, cinematography were very well done and the acting was truly solid.
Emma Macky Pretty good flick all around I have to say. My own taste would lean more on the CIA and Spy facet of the story. However that's because I happen to be more fascinated in that material. At the same time it was good to see a show like this for variation. Without giving away too much plot, I found the conclusion gratifying. Given the spirit of the storyline it paid off by coming full circle for the Josefina character. She gave a fine performance, I might add. And conceptually I felt the ending added credence to the film. That was my sense. Maybe it worked for me or anyone connected to the idea of memory and reflection of apparent. I hope that was vague enough. Actors and actresses were all very good too. Thanks.
razor eye This was a solid film overall. I enjoyed the setting of Seattle and the photography and story and the actors. I am always interested in what Eric Roberts does and an actor and find him to be electric on screen. The actor that plays the spy character is fantastic. I've seen him in another other films and always like his acting. I liked the actress as well that plays his daughter and found the lawyer character very unique and different. I got caught up in this film in a gradual way. Based on the description I sensed that I should not plan or expect the movie to be something of action but more of a character film and for that I liked the movie. Another thumbs up about the movie was the casting of the girl that plays the her daughter. Movies sometimes don't seem to cast the best children that feel real and this girl was very, very solid.
jurgenboat This is an intriguing film for me to view. I believe the acting was superb and it was also wonderfully filmed. I wasn't sure what to expect from the various reviews or even the storyline but overall the reason I ended up seeing the film was that I was enthralled with the notion of a character driven spy story. In my own way I also related to the struggle of the father connecting with his daughter after so many years. Which is not to say that I was a Spy, but I was away for a significant period of time and my business was confidential in nature and the demands were enormous which brought about a hindrance in the family, so the film was a cathartic experience for me. I very much enjoyed David Rasche's portrayal of the Spy character. I believe all the actors were very subtle and seemed to find some real keen notes. It was a well-told story and I am happy to have stumbled onto it.
