After spending years in prison, a former football star returns to his hometown hoping to rebuild his life.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a heartfelt redemption drama built around strong performances and an unlikely friendship; Not for you if you prefer surprising plots, subtle themes, or fast-paced action.
