Catherine Hardwicke is an experienced independent film maker. Her career started with Thirteen, a wonderfully vivid look at contemporary adolescence, and then she moved on to Lords of Dogtown, a book about skateboarding and the surf culture of Southern California. With her time directing Twilight, she rode the trend of commercial filmmaking before recently reverting to a more comfortable setting. Her most recent work, Prisoner's Daughter, offers a glimpse into a complex father-daughter connection that seeks redemption with each exhalation. It just doesn't do what it sets out to do from the very first frame.

Brian Cox, who plays Logan Roy in the HBO drama Succession, portrays Max, a former criminal turned repentant prisoner, in the drama Prisoner's Daughter. The warden of Max's Las Vegas prison informs him that he can live out his final days under house arrest despite having pancreatic cancer. He is kindly released to his estranged daughter Maxine (Kate Beckinsale), who is struggling with being in over her head in debt while parenting her epileptic son Ezra (Christopher Convery). Maxine is infamous for her inability to maintain a position in the service sector while arguing with her ex (Tyson Ritter) about his failure to quit using narcotics. Max has no idea that he is entering a minefield.

Prisoner's Daughter makes it clear right away that Max formerly lived a very nasty, very bad life. He was a former professional boxer who became a hitman in Las Vegas. He made his income by bashing people up. business was booming until he was arrested and sentenced to decades in prison. While this was going on, Maxine had the difficult task of growing up too quickly with an alcoholic mother, maintaining order in the home, and then raising her son to display every trait different from what she had been raised around. When Max moves home with his family, the proverb "You can take the man out of prison, but you can't take the prison out of the man" becomes a startling reality.

Despite having a fantastic ensemble, Prisoner's Daughter has a script that is horribly misaligned, anxious and unrealistic characters, and a redemption plot that barely holds together. Amid catherine Hardwicke's most recent indie film, characters must decide whether to sink or swim in treacherous waters. They frequently sink in their histrionic antics, which is unfortunate for this movie.
