    Interesting, human, clever, and funny. How many of those do we get any more?

    Engaging character study from start to finish. A well made slice of life.

    A great movie, wholesome and truly moving, it reminds us of our own humanity with the story of man's suffering and compassion. Forster and Walberg are very well developed characters who really make the movie one of great quality.....rare in this day and age.

    A refreshing shock of a movie, with a credible plot, virutally unheard of in today's Hollywood, eerily believable in fact. Pitch perfect performances by Robert Forster, as a lifelong road warrior who plays mentor in the wholesale diamond business to a disheveled Donnie Walberg who doesn't miss a cue either. Bess Armstrong, as Forster's love interest comes to the film late but grabs your attention with a Silky Sullivan move in the stretch which dazzles as well. This is film making and Daniel M. Cohen (writer/director) should be on everyone's A list. Highly recommended.… Expand

    Diamond Men's potential as a diamond in the rough turn out to be more "rough" than "diamond."

    Loses its way in a crime-movie subplot and a less-than-believable love affair.

    Forster carries the movie with an effortless grace and professionalism, creating a character of surprising nobility who is the very opposite of the Willy Loman caricature that's been the de rigueur salesman stereotype in movies of the past 50 years.
