Quiet, low-budget indie set in Reno, Nevada. A 40ish man gets out of prison and is aided in his readjustment to civilian life by a christian group who assign him a mentor...in this case a 60ish man originally from Perth.

Both leads were quite good, the pace deliberate...the Aussie in particular was likable...overall the effect was slice-of-life stuff. All the way through though I kept thinking this might have been sponsored by a religious organization as a form of propaganda...and I'm still not sure. In the film there's a scene where a video is shown in a church extolling the benefits of this program...which is pretty much the point of the whole film.

Anyway...a decent, clean inoffensive infomercial.
