This isn’t a great documentary but Reynolds deserves applause and respect for getting his message out there, and this film is a decent enough way to do it. It’s good but not memorable, and the end result isn’t as uplifting as it should be.

Overall it’s not quite as great of a film as you’ve heard, but it rates an A+ when it comes to rousing action.
The story is generic and predictable, but what’s the harm in an easy-to-swallow rom-com that makes you feel good?
The majority of the film’s characters are invisible, unhoused, and living in the woods. To call them isolationists seems unfair: they simply find their own human connections through privacy. Who are we to say what defines a home?
Between the moralizing life lessons that are spouted at full volume intensity, director Antoine Fuqua doesn’t shy away from graphic violence: bones crunch during hand-to-hand combat, blood spurts from knife wounds, and heads are blown apart with guns.
The film is colorful, funny, and engaging enough for both kids and adults to find much to enjoy.
