Prisoner’s Daughter

After 12-years in prison, Max (Brian Cox) is diagnosed with terminal cancer and granted a compassionate release with the condition he reside with his daughter, Maxine (Kate Beckinsale).

With no love lost toward Max but financially strapped and working multiple jobs to raise her only son, Ezra (Christopher Convery), she begrudgingly agrees to the conditions.

As Max seeks one last chance to redeem himself in her eyes, they must contend with his violent past as it comes back to haunt them all.

Catherine Hardwicke navigates the father-daughter drama with restraint, ferreting out warmth alongside resentment. Cox’s stripped-down performance is affecting as he unpeels the humanity in a man who’s relied on his fists for way too long.
