"Quality drama inspired by a true story. This is a rewatch after watching originally some years back. It's as good as, if not even better than, I recall. Demian Bichir in particular stands out in this, quite the acting chops here. I was totally rooting for him along with his son in this. Demian Bichir had been nominated for an Oscar in this as well as nominated/won a number of other awards, and I can clearly see why. Currently for free on The Roku Channel and on Starz."
