PrisonersDaughter Review: Brian Cox Strives For Redemption In Disappointing Indie
Director Catherine Hardwicke knows how to shoot an independent film. Her roots began with the wildly descriptive look at modern teenagers in Thirteen before moving to skateboarding and Southern California surf culture in Lords of Dogtown. She rode the wave of commercial filmmaking with her stint directing Twilight before returning to familiar territory in recent years.
It is apparent from the beginning of Prisoner's Daughter that Max used to be a bad, bad man. He was a former professional boxer turned Las Vegas hitman, specializing in beating people up for a living. Business was good until he got caught and was sent to prison for decades. Meanwhile, Maxine had the tough job of growing up too fast alongside an alcoholic mother, keeping the house in order, and later raising her son to exhibit every trait other than what she was raised around.
Viewers are already dealing with the tension between Max and his daughter while splitting screen time with a son attempting his own form of redemption geared towards those who have picked on him at school for an illness he can't control. Did the audience need a drug-addicted ex-boyfriend entering the scene and a kidnapping sequence going awry? With a dying Max regretting how his daughter turned out, that should've been the film's focus.
