Film Review: ‘Let Him Go’: Should Have Been a Jack Reacher Movie
Neo-Western thriller “Let Him Go” features long-married Montana ranchers George and Margaret Blackledge (Kevin Costner and Diane Lane) in what at first looks to be a delicious movie night for folks of a certain age. (L–R) Kayli Carter, Kevin Costner, and Diane Lane in “Let Him Go.” (Focus Features)
Heck, any age Lane and Costner not only make a handsome couple, they project a most excellent, well-worn marriage chemistry, where, were it a century or two earlier, George would have lit out for the frontier, and Margaret, in a bonnet, would have said, “I will go with thee, George.”

Doing whatever it takes to save their family, even if it means overstepping some of the very laws they once swore to always protect, is an equally timely and timeless vital message, in both fiction and real life. That’s certainly the case for the characters in the new period crime drama, ‘Let Him Go,’ as well as the 2013 novel of the same name that it’s based on by New York Times acclaimed author, Larry Watson.
