This movie must have been funded by tobacco companies. The dude's are lighting up in virtually every scene. Jeez, enough with the cigarette smoke already. Why does Hollywood continue with this when the coolness of smoking has been dead twenty years? Beats me, but Hollywood sure still loves it. I guess they will continue to love it as long as the bucks from tobacco companies keep rolling in. Hollywood continues to be so phony and out of tune, it's really irritating. The Marlboro man would have been in the front row watching this if he wouldn't have croaked from lung cancer. If it wasn't for the ridiculous inhaling of fumes, I would probably have given this a 4 (cause the acting wasn't bad when they were acting and not smoking) but with all the unimaginative tobacco partaking, I lowered it to a 1. Guess now after watching this cloud of carcinogens movie, I need to head over to the local liquor store and grab me a pack of smokes.
I'm not sure how they did it, but the writer and actors made this movie hilarious throughout the film. Every scene had either dry humor lines or something in the scene that was dry humor. One of the best comedy films I have seen in years. Actors were so good at using dry humor that they came across as realistic.
It could have been set in the 1920s or the 1980s or anywhere in between. It could have been trickery, but I'm pretty sure it was chicory.

I thought this movie was great. I'm surprised by some of the negative reviews. I watched it with 5 buddies and we all thought it was pretty clever. The cinematography was fantastic and I loved the characters. I would definitely recommend this film.
Martin Starr and Jake McDorman are a couple of dumb deputies. When they let George Sample III escape from custody, hard-as-nails sheriff Ron Perlman fires them. To recover their jobs, they decide to track Sample in the huge wildlife preserve.
Set in picturesque country during winter, it is adequately photographed by Adam Lee. Writer-director Zach Golden has made what is essentially a hillbilly comedy, run at a pace that is too slow for my taste, but which will appeal to some.

Despite some massive inconsistencies in the logistics of the plot and some amateurish acting the absurd premise does deliver a kind of Disney comic appeal. I guess 'the historical setting' allows the use of the 'n word', which in a more contemporary setting would be frowned upon by the largely disenfranchised classes. Maybe some people in the theaters would suck in their breath while others would just snigger and pop popcorn. The main character played deadpan by George Sample III gets seventh billing in the credits. So, what's new? Marla, played by Sondra James is the real star, with some great lines.
