disgusting, overrated, pointless

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Who are these people talking dirt about this movie? I think some people talk smack just for the hell of it. I found the leads in the film terrific, the story on par and even better than the big budget films and was paced extremely well. This has to be one of Eric Roberts best films and performances. Steven Williams is fantastic and Daniel Roebuck as the Sheriff is a real winner.

There were a few negative reviews about this movie so I didn't have any lofty expectations. This one has rich characters, it perfectly blends humour, drama, action, mystery, suspense and it has heart, all of which are presented on screen in a wonderful way that keeps the viewer staring at the screen right till the end.

This film is the worst film I have ever seen in my life. It is cheap and pathetic, much like that wanton woman of a wife in it! The actors were terrible. They clearly thought they were amazing. The storyline pathetic and just stupid. A lot of random occurrences in furthering the story that clearly shows the sheer lack of skill the director has. It looked a lot cheaper than it probably actually was. It might have been at least worth the watch if the whole film didn't try to be so serious. All in all, it's a piece of cr*p. Watching this will waste precious time of your life that you'll never get back. Do something more productive with your time - like sleep...

Eric Roberts shows of his facial expression once again in this mystery thriller with a serious made for TV-feel to it. So you have the standard peaceful town with a dark secret, and it's up to an FBI-agent not unlike Fred Williamson to figure things out and solve a murder or whatever. The first half of this movie is pretty bad actually, mainly because of the embarrassing attempts at sharp, witty dialogue. What the hell is up with that Maudy character? I just want to kick her in one of her chins every time she opens her mouth. And is there anyone is the world that still addresses people by "doll face"? And let's not get into the supposedly brilliant repartee between the good and the bad guys. Dear God, Steven Seagal gets cooler lines than those. Even considering the quality of the material, the actors are all pretty bad(except maybe for Steven Williams). They get to do a lot of narrating and monologues but they barely have enough skill to make me last more than two lines. I just don't get the feeling they're saying something that's interesting in any way. The worst situations though are when the wife tries to emote, despite the fact that she looks like a retired porno star. The movie can grab itself together just enough to have an entertaining second half, with all kinds of fairly clever plot twists, and the ending is pretty hysterical too. So plotwise I'm okay with it. But that first hour, dear God.
