A modern-day Western from Lasse Hallstrom which doesn't measure up to the best of the three-time Oscar-nominee's work, but is, nonetheless, a beautifully filmed panoramic production with a plot compelling enough to recommend.

By the conclusion, the movie turns into the ursine answer to Free Willy, veering dangerously close to New Age parody.

Hallström ropes an all-star cast into what's essentially a glossed-up TV movie.

An Unfinished Life takes us on the journey from the stifling prison of resentment to the freedom and healing of reconciliation. It's a trip worth taking.
