Bad Country (2014)
7/10
There Is No Family
24 December 2020
In 1983, in Louisiana, Lieutenant Bud Carter (Willem Dafoe) and his team arrest the contract killer Jesse Weiland (Matt Dillon). He uses Jesse's love for his wife Lynn Weiland (Amy Smart) and their baby to force him to work undercover for the local police and then for the FBI to bring down a powerful Mob that employed Jesse to hit enemies. In return, Carter promises to protect Lynn and her son. But when the mobster Lutin Adams (Tom Berenger) learns that there is a snitcher in the organization, Jesse becomes his prime-suspect.

"Bad Country" is a great police story based on real events and excellent screenplay. The plot is supported by excellent veteran cast. One of the best moments of the story is when Lt. Bud Carter says that there is no family to Jesse Weiland. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "A Lista" ("The List")
