Our take
A Working Man is a hard-edged action thriller rated R for violence, language, and drug content. A kidnapped young woman and human-trafficking plot fuel frequent shootouts, torture, and bloody kills. Expect near-constant f-words and references to meth and beer
Uplifting themes
Loyalty to family is shown, but violence is the main answer The lead solves problems through lethal force
Story (may spoil tone)
Levon Cade left behind a decorated military career in the black ops to live a simple life working construction. But when his boss's daughter, who is like family to him, is taken by human traffickers, his search to bring her home uncovers a world of corruption far greater than he ever could have imagined.

Talk after watching
- How do movies glamorize vigilante justice versus real legal consequences?
- Human trafficking is a serious crime; discuss how media portrays victims.
