Rain Man (1988)


A comedy drama directed by Barry Levinson, starring Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise.
A car salesman's father dies and the salesman learns that he has an autistic brother who is inheriting all of the father's money. He kidnaps the brother and they take a cross country trip to see the salesman's attorneys and try to split the money more evenly.
'80s drama all seems very similar to me, but that's not a bad thing. The high class car dealer dragging his autistic brother across the country provides some comical situations. The plot was simple and put on a back-burner for the film's gimmick. The characters were unique and the pacing was right. I'm rating this adequate.
