Thoughts on adopt a Highway
Thoughts – Adopt a Highway is a drama showing the struggles that a man will have when trying to put his life back together only to find himself trying to do the right thing, leaving him needing to learn more about his past, searching about the news about his father, while showing the pain that a small felony would do to someone. This is an amazingly slow pace, showing just how fast the world has become since Russell last was in the real world. Ethan Hawke shows why he is one of the best actors in the business today, while Logan Marshall Green takes his first steps behind the camera in a brilliant way. This is an emotional rollercoaster, which will show us how hard getting back into society can be.
Final Thoughts – Adopt a Highway is a brilliant, emotional drama, well worth watching.
