CGiii Comment

Affleck mumbles his way throughout...his depiction of insanity is wearisome. Frankly, it's beyond boring.

Without a modicum of intelligence, the 'sting' operation is as apparent as a wart on the end of your dick.

The 50s eye-for-detail is lazy...the narrative haphazard.

There is a brief scene of a young boy being raped by an older boy in the back of the car - now, that would give a motive for one of the murders...but, a later scene negates that rationale...

Winterbottom likes to court controversy...the explicitly lousy 9 Songs and, here, the violence against women is as repellent as that wart on your dick...

Winterbottom has no idea about structure nor about characterisation - he uses the violence as a vehicle to drive this film...unfortunately, this vehicle has three flat tyres.

The ending...did they all get bored and decide, collectively, to throw in the towel?

Possibly, one of the most ridiculous endings in film history.

The(ir) Blurb...

Sadism and masochism beneath a veneer of revenge. Lou Ford is a mild-mannered sheriff's deputy in a Texas oil town in the mid 1950's. His boss sends him to roust a prostitute living in a rural house. She slaps him; he hits her, then, after daily sex for the next few weeks, he decides it's love. She's devoted to him and becomes his pawn in a revenge plot she thinks is to shakedown the son of Chester Conway, the town's wealthy king of construction. Lou has a different plan, and bodies pile up as murder leads to murder. The district attorney suspects Lou, and Conway may have an inkling, but Lou stays cool. Is love, or at least peace, in the cards?
