I was surprised, as this one flew under the radar (at least for me) but I really enjoyed this flick.
It's slow burn of a movie with a decent grounded story and good directing. Excellent acting performances all around,
The cast offers excellent performances all around.
Willa Ford was very good at portraying the "damaged" mother. I wasn't familiar with Garrett Hedlund but he was excellent as the quite and remorseful antagonist.
I love Ryan Hurst since Remember the titans and Sons of Anarchy and he doesn't disappoint here Mel Gibson is good as the father and even the little girl is excellent and doesn't take you out of the movie (like it happens a lot).
I really recommend it if you want to experience an unassuming movie that punches above it's weight.

This doesn't have too many votes yet, but it's a 5.7/10 on here so far. That's just crazy to me! Perhaps many of the people who've rated this film so far, have entirely forgotten, or perhaps never even realized, that they indeed are miracles.
This is a more thoughtful film than most, which in some regard revolves around fate and the human circumstance.

I would say it mostly revolves around two characters who have been through a lot of pain and struggle, and who are somewhat desperately trying to right their own paths.

Not so sure why they're marketing this as an action genre film. Not a smart choice in my view. It's really not an action film overall. It's mostly a drama/thriller, and there are a few scenes with some action. In my view, marketing this as an action film will quite easily persuade some people to expect much more action than they should from it. And by doing this, the marketing team only sets some of these viewers up for at least some level of disappointment, because the expectation they set is not met. Some advice for the people behind this film, get a new marketing team for your next project. I'm certain there'd be less disappointed reactions if everyone just went into this film thinking that it was a drama/thriller, as it mostly is.

This could be considered a film noir, however the end can't really be seen as dark in my view.
Garrett Hedlund (Russell) "I don't recall anything about no huntin' rifle in the New Testament."
Mel Gibson (Mitchell) "Well, you can only turn so many cheeks, and I only got four, so..."
7.5/10.

Clint Eastwood for me is the master of drama. But I have this feeling that Mel Gibson will soon be taking the baton from him. He has been delivering some really amazing pictures. This was so beautiful. The story was adorable. The acting was great. The cinematography was ok. I honestly don't have anything to complain about.
It sure baffles me that this movie has such a low rating. I don't know what else anyone would want to see in this, that would lead them to give it anything less than 6.
Alot of times I had to stop myself from shredding tears. That should tell you how invested I was with this one.
If you love drama, twisted love story, fate, then this movie is for you.

Decent enough thriller, and much deserving of better current overall rating of 5.7
Garrett Hedland does a good job in the main male role, though the bigger name of Mel Gibson adds a bit of prestige to the film.
But the main acting honours goes to Willa Fitzgerald who reminds me a lot of Julia Garner which is no bad thing. Not for the first time Ryan Hurst is cast as the villain in the movie, which is getting a bit tiresome now
In summary though a good watch considering how quick the film was made (2 weeks) and probably on a cheap budget, and plenty of worse higher rated similar movies around so give it a shot.

Very good film. Primary themes include the challenges of redemption and forgiveness. Outstanding performances by Willa Fitzgerald, Garrett Hedlund, and Ryan Hurst. Some excellent lines and monologues, surely taken right from the book. Those who are saying it is too slow were not connecting with the emotional tension of the characters, because that tension is intense throughout. These are people who are now (or were previously) broken by mistakes (theirs and others) and by their own personal demons, but who are striving to redeem and overcome.
There are some minor plot issues along the lines of too much coincidence or convenience to bring characters together and push forward the plot. But believe me, most movies have much worse flaws. This one is worth watching.
