AROUND THE BEND teams up the dream cast of Michael Caine (Henry Lair), Christopher Walken (Turner), Josh Lucas (Jason), and Jonah Bobo (Zack) as the ultimate patriarchy, four generations of men in a family that has been torn apart for thirty years. Henry, an archaeologist obsessed with digging for both ancient objects and inner secrets, is dying, and he has beckoned for Turner to join them. The only problem is that Turner has been missing from their life since a terrible accident, having spent many of the intervening years in jail. He has not seen his son in three decades, and he has never met his grandson. But when Henry dies, his exhaustive last request is planned out at a series of Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurants in New Mexico, forcing the next three generations of Lair men to spend time together reevaluating life, love, and family. They travel in Turner's bruised and battered VW Bus, blasting music out of an eight-track-tape player, trying to maintain their sanity for the sake of young Bobo, who is the only one seemingly excited about the journey.

Ein gelungener schwarzhumoriger Film über den Tod, die Einäscherung, die Verstreuung und das Erfüllen von letzten Wünschen (egal, was es für Wünsche sind). Around the Bend hat Glück, dass er eine fantastische Schauspielbesetzung und eine fesselnde Geschichte hat, die sehr angenehm ist und schnell sowie entspannt erzählt wird. Vier Sterne.
