Cherry, the film by the director brothers, Joe and Anthony Russo is a crime drama that features Nikki’s son Tom as an Army medic that returned home from the Iraq war with PTSD and soon develops a heroin addiction.

When the senior of the Holland brothers sent his mom footage from the film in which he touches himself in a prison cell, he didn’t get the reaction he expected.

“I was like, ‘This is how my day’s going,’ and she was furious with me,”
