Early in the movie, influence is highly recognizable. Even if she doesn't have the touch of her father, Lynch co writes and directs a decent, calculating crime film, while building up a realistic and gritty atmosphere.
The highlight is clearly the storytelling of those characters. Unfortunately, it could have been better: this point falls short of meticulousness but I guess these awkward issues from editing helps to maintain a form of uncertainty during the major part of the movie.

Most of this movie takes place along the side of the road with broken down cars. And for those who have not seen this movie, you should do what you do when driving and see that cops have someone pulled over.

Don't stop. Don't gawk. Just move along. Move along.
There is nothing to see here.

Although I've seen this now half a dozen times, it is a tough one to recommend as the subject matter is dicey and some of the cast play against-type to portray at times shocking characters. French Stewart is head-spinning as a gleefully sadistic policeman. I like it. It feels like something the director's father (David Lynch) might have made around the same time as Wild at Heart or Lost Highway. If you like spending time on the dark-side you might get a charge out of this one.

Un atkal kaut kādos Amerikas Mazpisānos vietējie policisti uzvedas kā tādi pasaules varenie. Nu tādas savdabīgas šiem izklaides – līdzcilvēku pazemošana un morāla un fiziska čakarēšana. Priekšniecības un sev līdzīgo acīs šie, protams, ir nevainīgi un ar augstu morāli apveltīti likuma sargi. Bet tad uz lielceļa, kur vietējie kruķi dara savus netīros darbeļus notiek virkne ar dīvainām lietām un vietējiem supermeniem par lielu nepatikšanu ierodas FIB aģenti. Tas, ka neviens Amerikas kruķis nemīl FIB ir tik vien apnicīgi kultivēta klišeja vai jebkurā filmā kur darbojas policisti un FIB, un tas liekas tik pašsaprotami, ka šo faktu pat var nepieminēt. Tā nu par visiem tiek minētas mīklas un mēģināts noskaidrot patiesību. Tikai maza meitenīte saprot kas ir kas un kurš par kuru izliekas un ka nekas nav tā kā izskatās, bet kas gan viņā klausīsies... Skarbs un intriģējošs kino, kas diezin kā nevairo uzticību lauku policistiem.

Strangely compelling this one.

Set in a police station combining the present and flash backs to poece together a series of killing sprees.

A good cast and plot are slightly tainted by the last 20 minutes but not enough to ruin a good film.

If nothig more you will at least end up despising the old bill by the end of it.

I havent done a girl since art school.

Ya han pasado cuatros años y me sigue pareciendo una barbaridad fascinante.

Lástima del ninguneo.

This review reportedly contains spoilers. I can handle the truth.

Took me a while to catch up with this, and I'm really glad I did. Brilliantly twisted thriller with a terrific performance from Bill Pullman.
