Let Him Go (2020)

Has director Thomas Bezucha coined an entirely new genre?\xa0 The senior shoot-em-up. With the instantly winning pairing of a (bulldog) Diane Lane and Kevin Costner, we don't get The Bridges of Maddison County but a Southern potboiler that builds patiently for through its first half of 1960's "white poverty" country folk, before barreling towards a violent denouement, as the leads try to extricate their grandson from the clutches of an abusive matriarch driven clan. All very satisfying and made with intelligence.
