Texas Ranger Samantha Payne re-opens a fifteen year old case involving the disappearance of a young boy. She accuses local rancher Scott Briggs. This forces Scott Briggs to rethink his life.
This film was directed and written by Robert Duvall. The films story has two distinct characters living different lives who occasionally run into each other. The film would've done much better having followed one or the other. That being said, it is primarily an emotional about a father trying to mend his broken family before his death. The story takes several unexpected turns that make it feel like an soap opera drama. Sadly, there is a lot of build-up in this film but there is no fulfillment in the ending. Robert Duvall played the role of Scott Briggs. In truth, there is nothing likable about this character but he can be respected as a struggling father. James Franco played the role of Ben Briggs. He brought the most heart to this film. Josh Hartnett played the role of KC Briggs. He was great at supporting Franco. Angie Cepeda played the role of Maria Gonzales. She easily upstaged all the other performers in this film. Devon Abner played the role of Johnny Briggs. Even though there are three brothers in this family, and the father is trying to mend that family, he is the most unnecessary character in this film. He is also the easiest forgotten. Luciana Duvall (Luciana Pedraza) played the role of Samantha Payne. Her performance was lackluster, but the character was interesting for the limited time that she was on screen.
This film can be seen on Netflix Instant Que.
I give this film 2 out of 5 stars! It is a film that tries to be a family drama without any true direction.
