Movie Review: Rescue mission story rates 2.5 potatoes

Spud Nut,

Let Him Go (R, 114 minutes) stars Kevin Costner and Diane Lane in a rescue mission story about saving a grandson from an abusing family. The story begins on a ranch in Montana, and then moves to North Dakota. The direction focuses on little moments to tell the tale. Costner and Lane are a retired couple living a simple contented life together. He has been a sheriff and that comes in handy later. Their relationship is close with little differences now and then. The landscape vistas are part of the neo-Western style script. The grandson’s trail leads the grandparents into violent danger. The rough ending gives the film its restricted rating. The picture might become a production shown on a cable TV channel, and probably will end up there. While it is still in theaters, this two and half potato rated entertainment release is worth seeing, especially for older adults.
