From the outset the film takes us to the world of Cash (Bloom) and its no slips with his southern American accent. He's a man with a history and the film provides us with clues with being overtly explicit. The film makers trust the audience and we in turn trust them. They present us with 4 characters to find our affinity with: Cash, his late sister's husband, Savanah his niece and the preacher. Andie McDowell's turn as the enemy is many years and miles from four weddings and a funeral. She seems at home, Big Cat is the antagonist and she has a big crew and drug operation underway.

Cash made it out of her operation once but his brother-in-law's debt draws him back in only to be unable to let himself go down such an evil road.

This is a good thriller and an exploration of values. Bloom doesn't need to play the Statham card. What I mean is, Bloom inhabits and provides pathos and character with these roles. An actor who takes us on an emotional journey.

The script is sparse and the story could've fleshed out some personality and perspectives of the Sheriff, the gang and townsfolk.

I would like to see Bloom given better material than this, but he is by no means weak.

I enjoyed this and yet it had all the components of a better film. Still significantly above average.
