http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/08/02/Rescue-Me-Dont-Drop-the-Baby-Tommy.aspx Oh Tommy, don’t do it. As we fade to black in the latest episode of RESCUE ME, Tommy Gavin is leaning on a guard rail over the river, contemplating dropping his newborn son over the edge to his imminent death. The reasons for taking the kid’s life are plenty. First of all, it isn’t even his son. It’s his dead brother’s, who conceived it while having an affair with his ex-wife. And now she’s in a rampant state of depression, ex-fling -- and crazy psycho -- Sheila wants to take custody of it (yeah, that’s what the kid needs) and money’s scarce, what with Tommy’s other two kids in need. There has to be a better way. But not according to the ghost of Connor, who is thinly veiled in Tommy’s phsyche as his desire for a drink (at least, in this guy’s esteemed medical opinion) and urges Tommy to off the kid. But you can’t blame Tommy – or anyone else in the house – for being pretty stressed out. The episode starts out with a whammy of a house fire, and the damage done – seven babies and a mother die – is pretty traumatic. I’ll be honest, I’ve never dragged a baby out of a burning building, only to see them die on the sidewalk outside. But I’ll just go on out on a limb and say it has to mess a guy up. en-US Critics Rant info@criticsrant.com Subtext Version 1.9.4.0 http://www.criticsrant.com/images/default_gravatar_bullhorn.png http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/08/02/Rescue-Me-Dont-Drop-the-Baby-Tommy.aspx 77 60 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/08/02/Rescue-Me-Dont-Drop-the-Baby-Tommy.aspx#1073 this is a movie I wouldn't want to watch On a scale of 1-10 where 10 is the lowest or worst I'd rate this a #10.
