The look of buried terror and resentment in Hawke's eyes tells the deeper story. Still, Adopt a Highway wanders (Ella is just the first chapter) and the redemption narrative isn't so much heavy-handed as it is super-imposed.

Like a spare short story, this little indie nurtures a few simple emotions, then hopes its audience will stick around to share in them. I’m glad I did.

Adopt a Highway is a small film but mighty, thanks to Hawke’s reserved yet touching performance as a broken man learning to test his wings again, and Marshall-Green’s willingness to take Russell down unexpected paths.
