Synopsis

A Family Man (2016) is Mark Williams' drama starring Gerard Butler, available to watch online on iFILM. It follows a man who has chased money for so long he barely notices his own life slipping past.

Dane Jensen is a headhunter at a cut-throat Chicago placement firm, the kind of place where you can break a stranger over the phone in ninety seconds. He's the top closer and expects his boss (Willem Dafoe) to hand him the company. Standing in his way is Lynn (Alison Brie), a rival every bit as hungry for the same chair. Then Dane's young son receives a frightening diagnosis, and the old equation, work above everything, falls apart in front of him.

Butler trades action for restraint here, carrying the whole film on quiet inner conflict in a role unlike his usual ones. The story doesn't reinvent anything, but it lands hard on a simple question: what are you actually working for. A solid pick if you want grounded drama about fatherhood and the price of ambition, no explosions required. Stream A Family Man (2016) online on iFILM.
