4/10
A vile piece of cinema
5 June 2010
Warning: Spoilers
Michael Winterbottom's film about a killer who also happens to be a law enforcement officer in 1950's Texas is a huge let down.Casey Affleck plays Lou Ford, a seemingly polite Deputy Sheriff in a small town. The reality is that he is psychopath who is willing to use violence on women.

This film is an empty peace of crap.None of the characters are convincing,all seem to act in an illogical way.It has two shocking pieces of violence that are gratuitous in the extreme.I had two cover my face to avoid seeing some scenes. Great supporting actors like Ned Beatty and Elias Koteas are wasted.The two female stars Kate Hudson and Jessica Alba are given hardly anything to do except.........

An empty nasty film not worth the time of day.Can this be the same director who made Welcome to Sarajevo?
