audrablack I have to admit, I am a fan of Lance Henriksen and that is the reason I had this movie on my list in Netflix. It did not disappoint - the performances were excellent, the pace was slow but allowed for great development of characters. Bleak environment and nature of Pennsylvania in winter was a nice backdrop to highlight worn characters with a lot of history and convoluted emotions between them. Being a movie nerd that I am, I appreciated the fact that Lance was in TV show Millennium created by Cris Carter who was also creator of X-files where Robert Patrick was main character in later seasons. Other reviewers did an excellent job describing actors and plot, I am not sure I can add anything more but my most sincere admiration of the movie.

yeodawg I don't know why I didn't like this film, It had all my favorite strait to video actors. Lance Henrickson in about everything. Robert Englund of Freddie Kruger fame. I love British gangster films so i should have no problem with these in-bred gangsters bumbling around. However the thing is this film had no pop. It starts off with red neck gangsters torturing a guy for stolen money. They were pretty cool dialog was tight. Then they go to this diner where they run into an old cohort who ran off with their money. Then it becomes a long family drama Mexican stand off. I know they wanted a tension filled thriller this isn't it. There was no tough guy down home dialog,,wait one guy told another to leather a knife, that was it.

scannerama18 If you enjoy the minimalistic independent movies popular in the 70's you should give this film a try. At first glance, i thought this might have been the greatest collection of has-been actors in one movie in ages. First Robert Patrick, then Lance Henrickson, then Kathy ...what the hell's her last name...oh yeah Baker!. But... slowly... (the pacing is a bit lugubrious, but hey, i said it did have a 70's vibe) the movie grabs you. The cinematography, editing and soundtrack are all above average and the acting ranges from excellent ( Patrick and Hendrickson) to spotty (Samantha Mathis). Overall the level of suspense was consistently high and the story UNFOLDS, which i love. The payoff is pretty good though it strains credulity a bit. This movie reminds me of Lucky Mckee's 'Red' with Brian Cox (a film i HIGHLY recommend) in that it's a very simple story told with style and integrity and isn't that the bottom line in film art.

davidross20 let me start by saying that i"m not surprised that no one has reviewed this stupid movie before me. I came to IMDb to read other reviews and there were none. big surprise. this movie is very slow and tedious. you keep waiting for something to happen and nothing really does. all the actors look old and tired. i am a fan of Robert Patrick since terminator 2 and he has been in some good films but this is not one of them. here he just looks old.real old. you look at some people and wonder what happened to them. he is just here for the paycheck as are all the actors. this movind could be described as slumming for them because they are all well known. this is one movie they should leave off their resume. it is an embarrassment for them. very very low budget. nothing to see here, move along please, as a policeman would to you at an accident scene. this film builds some suspense but there is no pay off at the end. nothing to see here, move along please!
