Sober Film Critic James Brown43 - The right movie quote can say everything about the film in which it is uttered with just a few brief words. In the case of John Slattery's God's Pocket, the opening quote above says everything about the simple people in this sad little town. Unfortunately, that's not exactly saying much about the movie.
