While returning home after fixing the lights of a billboard, the worker Vincent Harris passes by a taxi with a damage door panel. When Vincent arrives home, he finds his wife murdered on the floor of the living room. He claims that the driver was wearing a red jacket and a ring with a large stone. Three years later, he lives in Brooklyn but is still chasing the killer of his wife. His dysfunctional neighbor Alice Parker has a crush on him, but Vincent is haunted by the ghosts of his past. When Alice meets the cab driver Roger Culkin out of the blue, she seduces him, damages his taxi and gives a red jacked and a ring to him. Then she forces him to meet Vincent, inventing a culprit to release Vincent from his past and stay with her.
When it comes to promoting their spiritual film "The Way," Martin Sheen and his son, Emilio Estevez, talked the talk and walked the walk.
Sheen and Estevez have traveled hundreds of miles in a bus and spoke to about 40,000 people during a seven-week trek to promote the uplifting PG-13 drama, which follows an embittered father who walks the El Camino de Santiago from France to Santiago de Compostela in the north of Spain to dispose of his son's ashes.
During the trip, the widowed parent learns to look through the eyes of his son and eventually discovers a new way of dealing with grief and moving forward.
Estevez, who also directed, plays the son who dies in an accident; Sheen portrays the father. The two have no problem with "The Way" being considered a message movie about the power of a positive attitude.
"I like to say that pessimism and cynicism are low-hanging fruit and is the go-to place for politicians and the media," Estevez says at his hotel during a Philadelphia publicity stop for "The Way," now playing at the AMC Neshaminy and the AMC Plymouth Meeting, both in Pennsylvania, and the AMC 24 in Cherry Hill. "As a result, they take a lot of us along with them. They underline how easy it is to get pessimistic and cynical.
"I believe that there's a different way — a much more challenging way. That's to climb up in the tree and grab the fruit that's a little sweeter and you'll enjoy a much better view.
"It requires some effort (to be positive in these uncertain times). But I'm prepared to go there, and the film invites viewers to come along with us. We are optimistic and earnest, and we know that, but we don't like the alternative."
