Prisoner's Daughter

Prisoner's Daughter (2023) is an American drama thriller you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Catherine Hardwicke. Brian Cox plays Max, released after twelve years in prison with a terminal cancer diagnosis and one condition attached to his freedom: he must live with his estranged daughter.

Maxine — played by Kate Beckinsale — has built her life without him and is not interested in a reunion. Her son Ezra is wary, money is tight, and the last thing she needs is her father's history moving in. When Maxine's abusive ex-husband resurfaces, Max's old instincts become the most useful thing he has left.

Cox and Beckinsale work well in close quarters, and the film is smaller and quieter than its premise suggests — more about what people owe each other across years of absence than about the thriller elements. Stream Prisoner's Daughter (2023) online on iFILM.
