I enjoyed the movie. Decent plot, capable acting, a fine supporting role for Ted Levine. I did notice some discrepancies however that bothered me throughout. I watched it on TV where the brief synopsis said "in a small Montana town ...", so I was surprised that the license plate of a long-residing character was from Missouri. Also, the deputy's shoulder patch clearly has the outline of Texas on it. Why not Montana? Or Missouri? The ending credits say the film was shot in Louisiana. Where was the continuity person?
I've started this movie with almost no expectation based on critics and viewers reviews. It was supposed to be badly acted, too slow, unfinished... but, I found none of the above. The movie has two major events, one in the beginning, one at the end, the rest can seem indeed slow and boring, but I think that was exactly the point, whatever happens in the arc between the beginning and the end it's just life, little moments, which I found were very well put together to imply that life goes on and it does not have to be extraordinary every day. It was what made the movie very realistic. As for the ending, without giving too many spoilers, I will just say that I think it was quite clear, even if the authors did not spell it out for us, the message was there, one look to freeze him on the spot for the time being and one left wide open door for him to come in eventually say quite enough. The entire movie was less about words and more about acting and I think the actors did a great job acting it.
Hey, producers. Note: If you go to the trouble of intentionally setting your storyline in Missouri and go to the trouble of creating a fictional county and making sure the license plates say "Missouri," go the extra mile and make sure the deputy sheriff in the film isn't wearing an prominent "Texas" patch on his shirt. From the point that I saw that, all I could think was this story had a rank amateur lurking in the background somewhere.
I actually really enjoyed this movie! Didn't know any of the actors besides Robson, who I knew from Animal Kingdom and liked his performance in the movie a lot. Was good to see him in a different role and thought it fit him perfectly. Also enjoyed the story, the location, and the characters were all interesting. So I basically loved everything until the end. Not gonna go into detail, watch it for yourself and get your own opinion. Its definitely a great story and movie is well done but the end was disappointing to me, they could have done more with it!
I thought this was very good. The only criticism is that it should be under crime drama and not crime thriller. The crime starts the movie and then we see how time, guilt and life is changed for all of them due to that one event. Definitely one of the better flicks I have seen in the past few months.
