CGiii Comment
It's DeCoteau...take cover, run for the hills!!!
We all know the endless drivel that this man produces...but, once upon a time, he was given the opportunity to work with a decent cast, Christopher Plummer, James Coburn et al.
So, the question that's on everyone's lips: Is the man capable of greater things?
No...and, most definitely, not with this script.
The women in this film will have you squirming - not just because of the dialogue but their performances are entirely devoid of talent. That leaves the men...even with the 'talent' - there's no talent on show.
Just goes to show...you need absolutely no talent to have a career in the film industry. DeCoteau is the unfortunate proof.
No trailer...
The(ir) Blurb...
A heart attack moves a Pulitzer winning journalist to leave NY for the peace of a small New England town, but he soon finds himself pulled into a case of a man accused of killing his gay lover with the blade of a shovel. Wanting to keep the case quiet, the town turns against the journalist and his family when he begins digging into its secrets, until finally the accused man is found hanging in his cell and the truth comes out about more than just the killing.
