"X" follows an inmate who escapes from prison to reunite with his daughter and search for her murdered mother's body in order to give her a proper burial. The film stars Brolin's two daughters -- Eden Brolin and stepdaughter Eleanor Lambert -- alongside Vincent Riverside as the inmate, Jack.
Brolin, who won a 2008 Screen Actors Guild Award as part of the No Country for Old Men ensemble and was nominated as part of the American Gangster ensemble, said in a statement, "I'm proud of the stark nature of this film, how it explores the parent-child relationship, and appreciate the support of those willing to embrace my journey into filmmaking."...
