Review

A star rating of 4 out of 5.

Kevin Harley

Reliable supporting actor Tim Blake Nelson banks the lead he deserves in this taut western. A hog farmer, lonesome widower and father, Nelson's Henry takes a risk when he takes in Curry (Scott Haze), an injured stranger with a bag of cash. Soon, supposed lawman Ketchup (Stephen Dorff) and his armed posse arrive to claim Curry, but is Henry a man they should cross? Writer/director Potsy Ponciroli invests the ensuing stand-off with contained tension, limiting the action to Henry's rundown house. Though the revelations about Henry's secret history verge on predictable and his son Wyatt (Gavin Lewis) strikes a jarringly modern note, Ponciroli directs with a controlled dynamism that grips, aided by bristling dialogue and textured scoring. At the head of an impeccable cast, Nelson rises to the occasion magnificently, bringing his presence and weathered features to an archetypal tale of violence and absolution.
