Painful to sit through. Some scenes over-theatrical with much scenery chewing. Dialogue a hoot. Plot contrived with stock characters. Faulkner meets Al Capp.

Unfortunately this movie suffers from a schizofrenic story line. The main plot line has enough tragic drama to support the film and if you were to fast-fwd all of the insipid sub-plots you would have a pretty good film.

Thornton and Blount give good performances but it's not enough.… Expand

BRAVO to Grace Z...the best actor in the entire piece.… Expand

Intense but dour. The sets alone could lead you to suicide. Everyone is redeemed but with a load of effort.
