Jack was fantastic in this film! As others might say, some might feel ripped off by the ending but I think the ending made it all the better of a film.

This movie started off great. I love a movie that's not overly pretentious. This one wasn't. It wasn't about a lot of fake action and guys shooting at each other. It was about a cop who promises to find a killer, and the lengths that he has to go through to find him. But the ending was ridiculous and a big let down. The ending was so screwed up, unrealistic, and such a big let down that I can't even think of a movie to compare it too.

The movie is slow but Jack's performance its worth it. The building up of the characters is important to the development of the movie, that's the slow part, but half the way the suspense builds up, and you identify with the main character’s loyalty to protect this small town
