This Is Martin Bonner (2013)
Having recently declared bankruptcy, Martin Bonner has just uprooted his life to Reno from the East Coast, leaving behind two adult children and a life he spent decades building. He's working a new job as a volunteer helping prisoners transition to freedom. It's Martin's first job in two years. Recently released after 12 years in prison and now in the transition program, Travis Holloway is sent back into the world bankrupt of self-esteem as well as of a normal life. To their surprise, their lives and stories begin to converge as they find that they have much in common, until their unlikely friendship is put to the test when Travis betrays Martin's trust.

    • Trivia
      During the speed-dating scene, Martin mentions that he was once in a rock band called Kopyrite ("with a K"). Actor Paul Eenhoorn was in fact in a band called Kopyrite; their song "Genevieve," which Eeehoorn wrote, is featured on the soundtrack.
    • Goofs
      Early in the film, when Bonner is leaving the auction with the lamp he bought, as he approaches his car, the edge of the front license plate holder is visible, but doesn't have a Nevada plate. Nevada law requires a front license plate if there is a holder for it on the vehicle.

    Life is uncertain
    This fine little flick is a quick drive-by look at or into a brief moment in another persons life.

    We never get a full background on any of the characters because the story just starts and then ends. What happens in between is one man, Bonner, driven to help others and never fully knowing if his efforts have actually helped.

    And another man,Travis, needing help and not fully knowing if he is capable of meeting its' challenges. He needs help due to his past! His daughter has a brief visit which only accentuates Travis's insecurity.

    I'm only giving seven stars because I don't feel enough character was given to Bonner to have just that name in the title. Travis actually plays the major role.
