This story is based upon real events, so you should know right away that you're going to be in for a wild ride!!
I caught this on Netflix and missed a bit at the beginning. From what I can gather, Danny Glover was an ex-con, hosting some other ex- convicts on the run from authorities, until things take a very big turn for the worse. As it happens, Joe Anderson and his crew are white supremacists, and Danny Glover is black. The challenges each group faces as they assimilate to their newer more raucous way of life becomes a huge issue. Also, with children in the picture, the ultimate goal for everyone becomes survival.
Danny Glover is terrific in his role, delivering a powerful performance as a man with his own demons, but charged with protecting his extended family.
Overall, decent film, well-acted, with the strongest performances delivered by Dawn Olivieri, and Evan Ross. It's about trust, and learning to go beyond your prejudices. Very heartwarming and well- acted.
