I'm going to make this review very short. Was in the hospital on Wenesday and I'm still not feeling too good. But I still wanted to post this. Sorry :( Hopefully the next review will be longer.
Won't Back Down is about two women- Jamie (Maggie Gyllenhaal), a hard working single mother who's daughter is dyslexic, and Nona (Viola Davis) a teacher in Jamie's daughter's school and also a mother. The school is failing to say the least. The two of them decide to try and take over the school and provide a better future for the children.
This movie wasn't all that great to be honest. It's heart was in the right place but it wasn't well put together. It felt rushed at times and other times it just seemed to drag. The only thing that's preventing me from giving it a lower rating is the strong performances by Viola Davis and Maggie Gyllenhaal.
I think this movie might've done better had it been on Lifetime rather than a theatrical release.
My Rating: 6/10
