Speakeasy (2003) Synopsis & Summary
Synopsis
A runner-up in HBO's popular series Project Greenlight, this touching tale of common threads and self-discovery stars David Strathairn, Nicky Katt, and Christopher McDonald. Brought together by a car accident, Bruce Hickman (Strathairn) and Frank Marnikov (Katt) soon discover that they are connected not only by their current dilemma, but also by their acquaintance with a deaf man whom neither was aware the other knew. As a bond forms between Bruce and Frank, the past simmers to the surface, forcing the two men to confront their troubles and take an introspective journey that will open their eyes to both themselves and the world around them. - Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
