Adopt a Highway
IN THEATERS NOW - Russ Millings has just been released from prison after serving 21 years for a 3rd strike conviction for possessing an ounce of marijuana. As he tries to adapt to a world he doesn’t recognize - including trying to learn how to use the internet - he finds an abandoned baby in a dumpster behind the fast food restaurant where he works as a dishwasher. Unsure of what to do, and caught between impulses of kindness and panic, Russ soon realizes this could be his chance at redemption. Starring Ethan Hawke in a critically acclaimed performance, Adopt a Highway “will simultaneously warm and shatter your heart” (Marisa Mirabal, Birth.Movies.Death.)
For our Fathers @HellsAssasin
A story worth your time.
Wonderful @RMikeRMikeR
What a man amazing and touching story of lost and found and hope. Ethan Hawke was splendid.
Intriguing…keeps your attention @ClaireBear4u
I found this movie to be quite interesting. Ethan Hawke, who is not one of my favorite actors, is spellbinding and stripped down raw in this film. It shows how good people can be tossed aside and the after-effects of what happens when they are tossed aside. Quiet, withdrawn, wanting human connection, wanting to matter to someone and desperately needing someone to love and someone to love him, this movie is poignant and and a reminder that at the end of the day, all anyone wants is connections…connections with our family, connections with the people around you, connections with society, and connections with ourselves. Excellent movie that you can’t look away from…that you shouldn’t look away from cause there are life lessons in this film. Be kind…to everyone…because you don’t know what someone is going through. So be kind because people need kindness and it’s such an easy thing to do that we usually fail to deliver. This movie, if you want it to, will make you ask questions about yourself and make you question how you can be a better person…for other people, for the world and simply for you as well.
Great movie! @TSecor
I loved it!
