Now All We Need is Some Old Timey Chase Music
This is a very witty re-telling of the manhunt in and around the Brandywine Valley for Norman Johnston following his escape from prison several years ago.
The name may not be immediately familiar to you, but most of you probably do remember the film "At Close Range", which was based on the true story of Bruce Johnston Sr. and his gang (which included Norman) and, especially, his colorful relationship with his son Bruce Jr. (what are a few .45 wounds in the abdomen between friends and family?). In the film, Christopher Walken and Sean Penn play fictionalized versions of Bruce Johnston Sr. and Jr. In any case, the film is an excellent meditation on crime, loyalty and betrayal. Kind of like a hillbilly version of the Sopranos.
