The Gateway

For burnt-out, hard-drinking St. Louis social worker Parker (Shea Whigham), the case file he opened on single mom Dahlia (Olivia Munn) and her young daughter (Taegen Burns) looked to shape up like any other. However, as he came to know the family--and learned that the child's hardcase father got out of jail, and was ready to drag them back into his lifestyle--he'd overstep his bounds with shattering results. Intense thriller also stars Frank Grillo, Taryn Manning, Keith David, and Bruce Dern. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
