Pretty much everything about this film and it's script has been done before, done better, and was more entertaining to watch, aside from the ugly nature of the predictable tropes it based itself on.
It pretends to present itself on meaning against prejudice while building itself on a world of fictional tropes that don't resonate.
School bullies but black and white baddies that we can assault and be the good guy, nasty prejudiced parents with no back story we can feel superior to, it's everything that is wrong with the all American tale that perpetuates dismissive stereotypes in order to make itself feel better without address the problems at its core.
The older narrator has been done so much better and Ed Harris' talent was wasted here, although he would go on to waste it even more on series 2-4 of westworld so, that's also unfortunate.
