PRAY 4 OUR MINERS

Warning: Spoilers
Slow talking Amos Jenkins (Boyd Holbrook) was the sole survivor of a mining accident that killed 10 miners. He doesn't remember too much and we don't know if it is from the accident or at the urging of his scab father (James DeForest Parker). The community is divided over the incident. Middle manager Bill Doyle (Josh Lucas) is being set up as the fall guy. The rift is also seen in the children as young J.T. Doyle (Travis Tope) goes missing. Mrs Doyle (Elizabeth Banks) becomes overly involved with the community.

We don't know what caused the mine accident, nor do we fully find out. The film is about truth in a town of secrets. The families who were the victims are suing the coal company, while the union workers want to keep the mine operation and their jobs in spite of any safety issues. They claim to be a "dying breed". It is a drama that keeps you engaged as wonder what path this will follow. Good acting. I would think fans of Lifetime would enjoy this one too.

Guide: F-bomb. Implied sex. No nudity.
