"Tomorrow" movie adaptation

The movie did make the characters and the overall plot easier to follow, but it was incredibly boring. I thought Robert Duvall's made the movie even more boring because he was so expressionless and his voice sounded like a robot. I have heard some heavy southern accents but I have never heard anything that exaggerated before. While it was nice to get a background on the main characters, and be able to put a name to a face during the court trial, I thought the movie focused too much on Fentry's everyday life and too little on the court case. In the story, the court case was the only part that I was semi-interested in so when it was downplayed in the movie I was just bored out of my mind. I did like how the relationship between Fentry and the boy was depicted because it helped to understand why Fentry couldn't like the man go free that killed the boy as a grown man. I thought it was strange that Fentry got so close to the boy and when he was taken away, he didn't attempt taking the boy's relatives to court. I know if I was in that situation I would have done anything it took to get my son back. I didn't like how the movie wasn't told by the attorney's nephew because I like hearing stories that are passed on. I feel like the movie takes away the signifigance from this story because I consider passed on stories to be more nostalgic and memorable. I thought the climax wasn't satisfying becuase the whole movie builds relationships only to tear them down and the resolution just leaves you feeling bad for Fentry becuase his life seemed so meaningless after the son he tried to raise was taken away, turned into a brawler as an adult and was killed as a result. Overall, I didn't like this story mostly because I couldn't get into it, there was no hook for me.
