Synopsis

Bloom Towne is a small-town sheriff under the thumb of the well-established, deeply influential Mayor Dick Cavanaugh's family. When Bloom's two teenage sons, Nate and Skylar accidentally shoot and kill Dick during a deer-hunt, Bloom's long-held allegiance to the reigning Cavanaugh clan is tested. Skylar (still a minor) decides to take the wrap for his older brother Nate, claiming he fired the fatal shot. The Cavanaugh family's quick retaliation sends Skylar on his way to county jail, soon to be tried as an adult. Desperate and guilt-ridden, Nate breaks Skylar out of jail and sets off a chain of lawless acts, which send them deep into the woods and on the run. Bloom's choice between the law and his sons leads to revelations of old family secrets that threaten to destroy everything he loves.

Michael Ledo While two brothers were out deer hunting Nate Towne (Spencer Treat Clark), the older of the two, accidentally shoots and kills Mayor Cavanaugh. Skylar (Nick Eversman) the younger of the siblings, opts to take the rap because he is a minor. Their father Bloom is the sheriff (Ted Levine) in a town that is literally owned by the Cavanaughs.To twist things more, the Mayor's wife insists young Skylar be tried as an adult. Nate, the trigger man, is the boyfriend of the Mayor's daughter he shot and the deputy (Martin Starr) is a Cavanaugh, who seems to be interested in real justice.The incident opens up a past sore, one unknown to the boys. Eventually the film becomes a man hunt for Butch and Sundance as one can deduce from the cover.The plot of the film is interesting and had enough complexity for a decent indie. Unfortunately it was not well developed. Likewise characters were never developed and the dialogue went through the motions. While things were happening on the screen, I found myself waiting to for this thing to end.Parental Guide: F-bombs. No sex or nudity.
shawnblackman An action thriller that has two teenage brothers hunting for deer in the woods when one of them accidentally kills the mayor who happens to be hunting as well. The boys happen to be the sheriff's sons which make matters worse upon arresting them. With one brother being released he fears the worst will happen to his brother so he breaks him out killing two officers in the process. Two handcuffed brothers set off in the woods which begins a manhunt with no intentions of arresting them just killing them.This film kept you on the edge with loads of tension. More plot is revealed adding on some layers. The music is awesome in this one as well. Violence is mild.Matthew Lillard is in this for two seconds and Justine Bateman is looking older in a weird waitress role.You'll enjoy this one.
ignorance-crown Beware of Spoilers all over this review... Hollywood is having creativity issues lately and this one shows it. Lets make hunting season for humans as it starts first and story just evolves around this idea. This happened before. Firstly it doesn't fit its genre. It's not a thriller, it's not a drama. Second, It's just a movie that nothing really is special. A LOT of nature view, trees and leaves almost cover quarter of it. When initial info's given to the viewers everything pretty much goes as same, nothing really happens you wouldn't think of except the part that we learn Nate did it on purpose. You keep hoping that dad would slip and go berserk for the revenge of his wife but no, he has as Nate's opinion "no balls". In fact if you look at the facts while you are watching the movie you get the idea that this movie ain't gonna meet your expectations. Father can't get to his sons while he is almost 20 meters away from them. You say to yourself if he can't do it now, he will do it at the grand finale then something will happen and a crappy ending i will face. You get this feeling at the half of the movie and you cannot stop watching when you watched half of a film do you? I already said it is a crappy ending nothing more need to be said about it. I hoped you watched the movie before reading this as it's full of spoilers but hey, you can't say you didn't warn.
Charles Cowles I really enjoyed this movie. Great cinematography that captures the rich colors of the Russian River, excellent sound track, good acting and an interesting story. I went to see it again yesterday, liked it even better the second time. Highly recommended! It's basically a chase movie, where two teenage brothers accidentally(?) shoot and kill the Guerneville town mayor, whose family the Cavanaughs pretty much own all of the businesses in the town and who were responsible for the sheriff (the boys' father) getting elected to town police chief. The boys escape from custody and go on the run while handcuffed to each other. The action is well paced and the story evolves in an interesting way that keeps the viewer wondering what's going to happen. In the end it all works out but maybe not the way one might suspect.
