This film is a standard murder mystery but many of the elements are ridiculous like an Army veteran sheriff who takes a lot of stupid risks because he's "tough." No police officer would do what this guy does. The two odious murder victims seemed to be oblivious to the fact that many people wanted to kill them although it's made obvious to the audience many times. The characters also utter some really stupid lines, as if the script was written by a teenager. This could have been a good movie if the plot didn't have so many holes and the script was written by someone who had a better understanding of police work and rural culture. Good actors, nicely shot on location, but the weak script undermines it all.
