THE WATER MAN (Theatrical Release USA 2020)

 Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.3|5.0 Starsìììì 

The Water Man works to some extent due to the direction and acting of David Oyelowo and the rising, new talent of  Lonnie Chavis, who did a great portrayal of character Gunner Boone, along with his co-star Amiah Miller who caught the spirit of a drifter, perfectly. The only real criticism would come from the movie’s lack of a conclusion with a resolution. The movie serves as a teen/adult watch.
