Review of Abel's Field (2012) by Damon S — 02 Nov 2013
A decent film about redemption, and overcoming life obstacles. Sorbo plays Able the loner, drifter who is passing through town and becomes the local high schools maintenance worker. Seth has one of the worst hands of cards dealt in life with a brother who wants nothing to do wiht him a mom who passed when he was young, a non-existent trucker dad who had a secret life on the road who dies, a home that is about to be repossessed along with utilities bills that rack up, 2 younger sisters to take care of, 2 jobs to work to support their life.
After being abused and bullied by the low life football team he stands up for himself and gets rewarded with the task of helping the maintenance worker to get the field ready for homecoming....A cheesy ending that you could have called mid-way through, Oh yeah, and there's the standard Love interest that only brings trouble.
Though all things considered this film holds fast to some great themes and holds to some strong values and moral decisions. A nice family film to watch together and I love the reoccurring theme of a hard work ethic.
