Steph... This movie was a trip. Small town Deputy Sheriff Lou Ford (Casey Affleck) is a baby faced, quiet man who happens to be a sociopathic, S&M loving, killer. Things get out of control when his revenge plot against the man who killed his brother get complicated and he has to keep killing people to cover up his part in killing the man's son and a hooker. Casey Affleck's performance was great. He pulls off the role with the right amount of menace. Jessica Alba also stars as the prostitute he loves but is willing to kill. Kate Hudson also stars as Lou's finance. Both of their performances are ok but their roles are pretty minor. This movie is not for everyone. I wouldn't call this a must see but if you want to see something a little different check this one out.
This is a smaller movie that didn't get a lot of buzz and was in and out of the theaters. Too bad because it is a very good one. Casey Affleck's performance was subtle but very good. For that alone you should check this one out.
