SHANGHAI (Hollywood Reporter) - Action hero Jet Li gives a respectable turn as a terminally ill father grooming his autistic son to survive on his own in "Ocean Heaven" -- a decent, if orthodox job by Xue Xiaolu.

I thought I could help you guys distract yourselves from the misery by helping me get over crushing on him or recommend coping tips.
