In the tradition of American classics, WALKAWAY JOE is the story of an unlikely friendship between a young boy searching for his father, and a wandering loner hiding from his past. In each other they experience the power of a second chance, and a shot at redemption.
Critic Reviews:
- " Wright's film is remarkably poignant. It's a nice, warm salve of a movie, a charming indie gem about the things in life you can't run away from and the giants you have to topple to become your own person. " – Clement Tyler Obropta (Film Inquiry)
- " Hews closely to formula (expect a BIG GAME). But the Deep South pool hall milieu, the lived-in characters and the top drawer supporting players make it. " – Roger Moore (Movie Nation)
