Set against the rugged ranchlands of Wyoming, An Unfinished Life is the story of a modern-day Western family, as stoic as they are divided, learning the true meaning of forgiveness.

Robert Redford stars as Einar Gilkyson, a tough-skinned, retired rancher who long ago turned his back on memories. Still in shock from his only son's death a decade ago, Einar has let his ranch fall into ruin along with his marriage. Now, Einar spends his days caring only for his hired hand, and last trusted friend, Mitch (Morgan Freeman), who was gravely injured in an encounter with a grizzly bear. Einar intends to live out his days in this heartbroken solitude . . . until the very person he blames for his son's accident comes to town: his daughter-in-law Jean (Jennifer Lopez). Jean shows up broke, on the run and with a girl named Griff (newcomer Becca Gardner), who she swears is the granddaughter Einar never knew he had. Suddenly, Einar's quiet life is turned upside down as anger and accusations resurface. But slowly, miraculously, 11 year-old Griff's curiosity about Western life, and her longing for family and a father figure, begin to chip away at the stone that has become Einar's heart - opening up the way for unexpected connection, adventure, mercy and true reunion.

... very pretty scenery and nice story. Predictable, yes, but it makes for pleasurable watching and I actually enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Jennifer Lopez is a lot less annoying than I thought she would be, Redford and Freeman are great. Nice family film.

Customer rating: 3 out of 5 stars Good Movie if a Little Predictable

Enjoyed this movie, got it due to the cast and trailer, went straight to dvd in the uk, which was surprising given the cast. Robert Redford was Brilliant, J Lo was good , Morgan Freeman was so so, just doing his usual supporting actor role (have Robert Redford, Clint Eastwood, Jack Nicholson etc not got any other friends) anyway back to the movie, good movie to watch once on a rainy afternoon or a quiet nite.

Customer rating: 5 out of 5 stars touching story
