Rites of Passage Movie Review 1999

Suspenser about fathers, sons, and masculinity has both awkwardness and intensity. Del Farraday (Stockwell) and his son D.J. (Keith) travel to their secluded mountain cabin for a heart-to-heart chat, only to discover the place is being used by Farley's estranged gay son, Campbell (Behr). As if there weren't enough family angst, the trio are joined by violent escaped cons Frank (Remar) and Red (Woolvett). Tempers flare between Del and Frank and the entire situation is worsened by a secret that Campbell is keeping. Good performances.
