Flaws in the script.. Many things don't make sense or not believeable but I still watched it
I was excited to see this film for 1 reason mainly and thats because I love Alycia Debnam-Carey but it was a great film which I enjoyed from start to finish. My favorite genre in films is thriller the ones that keep you guessing and this was one of them I dont believe it was slow or boring I feel while watching it had an element of guessing work. I highly recommend if you havent seen it the actors were cool and did a good job and im so proud of Alycia herself for producing such masterpiece and also she looked beautiful.
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.
This is a pretty solid flick. It's not your typical thriller, and I feel like it falls more in the vein of Fargo. If you like Fargo, I'd say you'll like this movie as well. I'm not sure why the deputy's uniform has Texas on it when the movie seems to be set in Missouri? That's the only strange thing I saw, but maybe that had something to do with the county where it's set. The acting was impressive. Ted Levine was amazing, as he always seems to be. If you like artistic cinematography, there were a lot of impressive shots. Kudos to the director and cinematographer! It's one of those films that weighs on you after you watch it. It's a bit like watching a car wreck. You know things can't end well, but you keep watching anyway.
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?

- TriviaClaire Holt (Abbey), Alycia Debnam-Carey (Frances), and Brenton Thwaites (Norman) are all from Australia.
- GoofsThe "Sheriff's Dept." shoulder patches on Norm's uniform show the state of Texas, but all license plates (and even a map) show that the movie takes place in Missouri.
