Handsome Harry (2009)

In the realm of rugged charm resides "Handsome" Harry Sweeney, a 52-year-old Vietnam veteran and electrician, whose magnetic allure remains untarnished by time. Harry's soulful voice can light up a room, yet a veil of solitude shrouds his heart, distancing him from those who dare to get close. Despite his lingering romance with a diner waitress, Harry is a lone wolf, haunted by a divorce and a strained relationship with his seldom-seen son. Harry's life is disrupted by a call from Tom Kelly, a long-lost Navy comrade now on his deathbed. Fearful of eternal damnation, Kelly implores Harry to seek forgiveness from David Kagan, a fellow serviceman they egregiously betrayed decades ago. Initially, Harry wants to sever all ties with Kelly, Kagan, and the shadowy remnants of his past. But the past has a tenacious grip, and the specters of guilt and memory prove too potent to resist. Embarking on a soul-searching journey down the East Coast, Harry confronts the three men complicit in the long-buried crime. He observes how each has grappled with their guilt: Rheems hides behind a facade of moral righteousness and affluence, Porter has intellectualized his violent military past, and the gentle Gephardt has sought solace in religion. Though age has weathered them, it remains uncertain whether salvation has truly found them. As Harry's journey unfolds, two mysteries gradually come to light: the truth of that fateful night thirty years ago, and the profound impact it has had on his life. It is only by unearthing the buried truths of his past, and confronting David, that Harry can begin to shed his cloak of solitude and truly embrace life once again.

Handsome Harry is a crime movie featuring Jamey Sheridan and directed by Bette Gordon.
