It is hard to stand up to "Fargo" with which many have compared this film. In my opinion "Fargo" was a masterpiece. This film is not, but that doesn't mean it's bad. It actually is quite good but could have been much better. Maybe due to its shortness (75 min) it just scratches at the surface of the protagonist's issues and although I'm sure that was the director's intention, it just wasn't enough for me. And I'm still undecided if I liked the film's use of music and slow motion.

Peter Stromare is on top form as a born again small town cop who trys to solve the case of a murdered girl, but is he trying to fit up someone who done him wrong?

Slow moving but involving and the fact that the end credits are up by the 68th minute means it doesnt outstay its welcome either.

Also I think this is the first time I've seen Martha Plimpton in something since the Goonies.

Canadian psychological drama about a policeman with a violent past investigating the rape and murder of a woman. A very disappointing film that is thin on plot and high on gimmicks.

Pienen kylän himonussijaviiksisellä kytällä on luuranko kaapissa. Teinitytön murha järkyttää mielenrauhaa.

Draama rikoksesta ja synninpäästöstä. Peter Stormare vetää hyvin.

Worth watching for the soundtrack alone. Never would have discovered Bruce Peninsula otherwise.

I didn’t much care for this one, but I admired what it was trying to do. A quiet study of a man with a violent and shady past, who uses religion and his new sweet girlfriend (Martha Plimpton) defensively to try to keep that part of himself from breaking through. The rest of the plot almost doesn’t matter, the film is about this man and his relationships with his small town, with the Mennonite farming community, and with his past and present.

While the performances were great, I just couldn’t deal with the titular songs and the slow-mo.

Featuring one of the most annoying musical scores ever (it's by Bruce Peninsula), this cop drama is a total misfire that wastes a top-notch cast. A total letdown for me.
