I'm thankful for films like this one:

It's got a meandering opening but once the story kicks in, wow. It's really good. I highly recommend it.
And I'm sure some smart ass who's seen it is going to say this film is representative of the whole south, but this story could have taken place in any rural area in Michigan, Iowa, California, New Mexico, Maine, Manitoba, Nova Scotia, Montana, Idaho, anywhere. And the sad thing is, while our economy deteriorates and our social safety net is shredded, more and more of you are going to be sharing your neighborhoods with the kind of low life criminal types that populate this film.
