The Woodsman
CrimeDrama87 min
After 12 years in prison, Walter is released and sent back into ordinary life with the one thing he cannot escape: what he did. He takes a job at a lumber yard, moves into a small apartment, and tries to follow the rules while suspicion closes in from every side. His brother-in-law wants him gone, coworkers keep their distance, and police watch his every move. As he starts a tentative relationship with a co-worker, played by Kyra Sedgwick, the hardest struggle stays inside him. Kevin Bacon plays Walter as a man trying to build a life while facing impulses, shame, and a world that has not forgiven him.
