Starring : Casey Affleck, Kate Hudson, Jessica Alba, Ned BeattyDirector : Michael Winterbottom
Running Time : 110 mins
Seemingly unassuming Lou Ford (Affleck) is the sheriff in a small 1950s town. When he is asked to deal with local prostitute Joyce Lakeland (Alba) he is lead into a world of over the top violence and abuse that eventually leads to murder. As the bodies start to pile up, it seems more and more likely that Lou will get caught...
In spite of being a remake, this is an incredibly strong movie with a great performance from Affleck in the lead role. The only thing that lets it down is its overuse of violence. Granted, we expect there to be some violence due to the craziness of Affleck’s character, but if it had have been toned down a little this may have appealed to a much wider audience.
