warning: minor spoilers ahead... "Man on the Bottom," on the surface a tight little crime- thriller. But if you look below the surface, this is an extraordinary fable about the power of FAMILY. I will try not to reveal spoilers, except to say this: some families that may appear to have it all are not actually what they seem. Sometimes it's the poorest of families, a family that is struggling just to survive, that can exhibit real dedication. Anyway, that's my two cents. My favorite scenes were between the brother and sister character, "Luke" and "Liddy". Both actors were exceptional at playing off each other, and I enjoyed the way Liddy became a motivating force in the blackmail plot.
