Oh, never mind, it\u2019s actually a Spielberg-inspired adolescent adventure movie in which a young boy armed with a sword ventures into the woods to find a mythical figure to help cure his ailing mom (<strong>Rosario Dawson<\/strong>). It\u2019s an abrupt shift, but the latter part is likely closer to the wholesome tone of the movie, which is David Oyelowo\u2019s directorial debut after the actor has won acclaim on the screen in films like\u00a0<em>Selma<\/em>,\u00a0<em>The Butler<\/em>, and more.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Water Man<\/em> made its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, where \/Film reviewer Marshall Shaffer saw it, writing in his mixed-to-positive\u00a0review, \u201cOyelowo is not necessarily going to breathe new life into the genre with this sober, earnest take on old-fashioned adventure tropes. But perhaps he\u2019ll meet some viewers who will respond to his clear-eyed message: things might not always turn out okay or the way we want them. We don\u2019t have to retreat into our imaginations, however, to find the help we need. Often times, it\u2019s already there in our homes and lives, waiting to be discovered by means ordinary or extraordinary.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Oyelowo directs from a screenplay by <strong>Emma Needell<\/strong>.\u00a0<em>The Water Man<\/em>\u00a0also stars Oyelowo, <strong>Amiah Miller<\/strong>, <strong>Alfred Molina<\/strong>, and <strong>Maria Bello<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Here is the synopsis for\u00a0<em>The Water Man<\/em>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Gunner (Chavis) sets out on a quest to save his ill mother (Dawson) by searching for a mythic figure who possesses the secret to immortality, the Water Man. After enlisting the help of a mysterious local girl, Jo (Miller), they journey together into the remote Wild Horse forest \u2014 but the deeper they venture, the stranger and more dangerous the forest becomes. Their only hope for rescue is Gunner\u2019s father (Oyelowo), who will stop at nothing to find them and in the process will discover who his son really is.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><!-- SlashFilm_300x250_In_Post_2 --><em>The Water Man<\/em> opens in theaters on <strong>May 7<\/strong>,<strong> 2021<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>                            <strong>Cool Posts From Around the Web:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>                            <!-- \/post -->\n                        <\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
