- Synopsis:
- Arlis Sweeney (Dennis Quaid) leads a life as simple and unchanging as his native West Texas plains. He stocks vending machines, moving from town to town and from one familiar lover to another. Kay Davies (Meg Ryan) also calls the road her home. Running from a broken marriage, she doesn't know where she's headed, but any place is better than where she's been. Fate brings them together and gives them a future, until a figure from the past - Arlis's father (James Caan) - awakens a memory as deep and dark as a grave: a family history written in cold blood.

Slow burn - Flesh and Bone review by AER
It's the broad performances that let this cool drama about blood ties down. It could be that the style of acting has dated since the early 90s or that the cast misinterpreted the script. Anyway, the story is compelling as a drifter/conman reconnects with his son and the past comes together to play a cruel trick on all of them. It's a slow burn and certainly looks the part - it's a shame its miscast across the board.
