About
You may like this if you enjoy dark, morally tense old thrillers with family conflict and small-town menace, especially if Crisis appeals to you; Not for you if you want a deeper, more direct takedown of its subject.
Pros: tense opening; dark, gripping mood; strong lead performances | Cons: softens the bigger issues; melodramatic at times; dated dialogue
