This movie is a combination of "Serial Mom" (1994) and "The Gun in Betty Lou's Handbag" (1992.)
This has been filmed all over Cleveland, Ohio; it makes you wonder about Cleveland:
Edgewater Park, Cleveland - Miss Meadows and the Sheriff Beach Scene
3850 Pearl Rd, Cleveland - Restaurant
Starkweather Ave, Cleveland - Miss Meadows home
Edgewater Dr, Cleveland - opening scene
Whiskey Island Dr, Cleveland - Sheriff pulls Miss Meadows car over
Tremont Montessori School, Cleveland - School
The movie is a psychological thriller posing as a black comedy.
Miss Meadows (Katie Holmes) is a well-balanced individual with a mission to dispatch evil beings. Her life gets complicated when she falls in love with the local law enforcement (James Badge Dale) and they have an accordion-ly good time. Which instinct shall prevail?
I now have a new respect for substitute teachers we have a lot to learn from them. I also learned that law enforcement can be fixable and personable.
