“Working Man” (**1/2 out of four) was a respectable melodrama about a small Midwestern factory which has to shut down and one lifelong factory worker (Peter Gerrety) who refuses to accept this and still continues to go to work every day which inspires one of his main co-workers (Billy Brown) to go with him and unite the other workers which leads to numerous labor and law complications. Best thing about the film is Gerrety whose simple and touching performance as a man who knows nothing else but factory work and story also tackles interesting issues about the emotional (not to mention financial) detriments of suddenly being out of work but it goes afield in its second half and starts to become silly. Film’s ending is also obscure and anticlimatic. A mixed bag overall but still a worthwhile film relevant now in the times.
