This is the type of film we have seen many times before. A hardened ex-cop wants to do right by his prior mistakes by taking on a case that he feels obligated to find the truth behind. And Small Town Crime isn't particularly all that different or unique. However, the pulpy feeling does give it the spice it needs at times. And John Hawkes has a knack for turning in some solid small budget film role performances. I think the script needed to be built out more and characters needed to have deeper motivations, but I was never bored. So that's good.
