So, you’re a hired killer and the gorgeous woman you’ve been paid to eliminate unexpectedly opens the door on you and, excitedly mistaking you for her long lost brother, draws you into her home. Do you immediately follow through with your gun popping plans – or do you get sucked into her world, waiting for an appropriate time to make your move and then eventually, emotionally involved, find a way to extract yourself from the situation altogether? - Well, if your name is Jacob and you do the former, then there would no entertaining action adventure entitled Sister’s Keeper, so let’s assume the latter is the name of the game here.
Written, directed and starring Kent Faulcon, Sister’s Keeper is an enjoyable time waster that leaves you wondering how things are going to be revealed, and ultimately resolved, from the moment Jacob meets his sweet schoolteacher target, Diane(played winningly by television regular Denise Boutte'). Faulcon addresses all the anticipated plot points and characters here (A feisty matriarch with several secrets up her wheelchair ridden sleeve, the heroine’s philandering husband whom leaves her open to wondering why her feelings toward her ‘brother’ are - - well, complicated and the hero’s ultimate realization that he is no longer capable of killing a woman he has grown to love), but he approaches them with an ease and subtlety that allows viewers to fully enjoy them.
Greatly aided by his cast (including Eric Roberts doing a typically malevolent and mysterious turn and a vibrant Esther Scott as the resolute Mama Pines), Faulcon obviously is having a good time here and the audience is soon joining him with heart and amusement during his sharply executed vision of family pride, emotional healing and – eviscerating pistols!
