La carrière

Shea Wigham's best role I think. I saw him first in True Detective and thought he was amazing, nothing short of tour de force! I think he also played a preacher in that one too. He just gets better and better. Michael Shannon is another tour de force type of actor. He's great as the sheriff. He can play any character and he's just a natural, I love his movies. The movie shifts into high gear and when it was over, I kept thinking "This style of movie mystery is like an old fashioned killer movie from the old days." It's just plain good and intriguing til the last minute. I absolutely loved the storyline, script, the acting was superb, especially Shea Wigham. His best acting performance I think. It had to have been someone with style and class bcz he took over a preacher's identity and preached to the parishioners. Simply amazing. The ending was intense as well. Do not miss it, take look at Shea Wighams performance. He might deserve an Oscar for this one, I'm not sure. He definitely nailed his character down amazingly.

No idea why this film has got so many bad reviews! Thoroughly enjoyed this film from beginning to end. As a fan of Michael Shannon I was not disappointed, and Shea Whigham was just as good as co-lead. Nicely shot, well acted film. It is slow paced , but that doesn't mean that there wasn't anything happening. It was a nice slice of life kind of film. Totally baffled at the negative remarks!

The story is engaging because you see how one person's mistake affects the lives of others. The morality and also the irony in the story are remarkable, making the film thought provoking.

This movie isn't the best thing they've done but they're great in it. They have worked together before a couple of times and are amazing. I don't really think the movie overall is a 10, but the rating of 5 is much too low so I puffed mine up a bit. I hope these guys work together more in the future!

While reading reviews on several movies these past weeks I noticed a common theme those who like the picture and analyze it ask why the poor reviews ??

My take on this is it's become like most everything else now if the movie is of an independent sort with issues one has to think about there are those who just don't want to get it I would say they need to be spoonfed but that's a little cynical Again it's extremes of the people who watch only Marvel or the superman Batman things if that's marvel I don't even know if they need the constant visual input then these movies will never please them they don't have the flash. On the other hand I'm not saying all independent films are good but this one was Michael Shannon is phenomenal and the rest of the cast was almost as good I personally just like movies where you have to think through them not necessarily flamboyantly "entertained"
