The Reel Review
In his final starring film role, the late Bill Paxton plays a corrupt rural cop and abusive father, whose ill-gotten drug money ends up in the hands of the teenage farm boy next door, who, along with the cash, seizes the opportunity to run off with Paxton’s daughter and start a new life. While the art house film doesn’t forge any new ground, it’s a well done, realistic portrait of rural desolation and life on the run and features solid acting by its promising young leads – Josh Wiggins (Max) and Sophie Nélisse (The Book Thief). It’s also a sad reminder of the acting talent lost with Paxton’s sudden death in 2017.
