“Apple Seed” (** out of four) was a pleasant but minor melodrama about a man (Michael Worth) whose life is falling apart who is on his way to his hometown to rob a bank and along the way befriends an older former bank robber (Rance Howard) and their unexpected friendship becomes poignant to both their lives in learning from their past and helping out each other’s futures. Both Worth and Howard give their best and have a nice rapport together but this needlessly overlong fluff doesn’t congeal into a solid whole. Worth also wrote/directed and co-produced this labor of love so hopefully this is a seed of better things to come.
