Finding Forrester is a conciliatory race-fantasy by Gus Van Sant, the maker of Good Will Hunting. In an odd dichotomy, the new film’s execution is less manipulative than its predecessor while the plot is doubly so. Instead of Matt Damon’s janitor-math genius we get Jamal (Rob Brown), a young city kid who’s both a basketball star and a gifted writer. Instead of a weepy Robin Williams, we get a stony, imperious Sean Connery playing a Pulitzer Prize-winning recluse holed up in his Bronx apartment. He practices tough love and helps to hone Jamal’s writing. Jamal, in turn, breaks through the old man’s dusty, cynical shell. Brown and Connery work well together, and their relationship proceeds at an almost commonsensical pitch that improves upon the Hallmark trappings of Good Will Hunting’s mentor-genius pair.
