Let Him Go

Sometimes the best way to describe a movie is to suggest what it's not. 

There are no capes or magic powers in Let Him Go. There are just two good-hearted and determined people willing to do what's necessary to protect their grandson. 

There are no scenes of gratuitous violence and gore. The violence and limited gore shown seems genuine and appropriate. 

There is no Terminator-type ending where the villain will be back in endless sequels. The ending wraps it all up well, and is pretty much how an event like this would and should play out.

Let Him Go is simple but powerful. Absurd but sincere. Small with wide appeal. The sort of movie that forces you to consider if you'd make the same decisions as Kevin Costner and Diane Lane if you found yourself in their circumstance. 

Or, would you let him go?
