The Confirmation (2015)

Any movie that is solely focused on a boy and his weekend dad is going to have some emotional challenges, and this one is no different in that respect, but Clive Owens is a particularly down on his luck dad, and his son, Anthony, is an introspective yet straightforward, old-before-his-time 10 year old. 
The movie is somewhat of a chase scene thriller, one you almost certainly should not have taken your child to.  It starts when Owen's tools, which are both expensive and have sentimental value because they were his father's, are stolen.  There is some shared blame, in that he left them unlocked and his son left the truck unattended in a sketchy parking lot, and so they spend their entire weekend together looking for them.  This involves have several unsavory encounters, guns are involved, and so is fighting.  Anthony and his father love each other, and when his mother and her new husband return from their weekend away she suspects most everything, and she starts to appreciate what they have, and she softens her tone.  At the end, there is a feeling that everything will eventually work out.
