God's Pocket Looks Well Worth Watching

Philip Seymour Hoffman may no longer be with us, but thankfully he's left a couple completed films to help soften the blow of his tragic loss. "God's Pocket" has been described as a "deliciously twisted comedy" and stars the late Philip Seymour Hoffman as Mickey. I am told that this is one of two movies that he acted in before sadly passing away. Based on a novel by Pete Dexter, the film follows Mickey Scarpato, who tries to cover up the death of his stepson in a"construction accident." But when a journalist latches on to the story,Mickey finds things going from bad to worse.
