With his life turned around for the good Nick Brenner (Luke Grimes) thought his past was behind him, but his old (criminal) crew wants satisfaction for the money Nick stole. While Nick is on a hunting trip they come and kill Nick's wife Tara (Marguerite Moreau). When Nick returns they shoot him and leave him for dead. Ah, but he survives. You knew that, right?
Let's be clear, the acting all around is very good. It's the script and the shootings that are very bad. Yes, it's slow going but we have to keep in mind that Nick lost his wife and Sheriff Frank lost Tara, his daughter, and we need to understand some scenes that focused too long on their faces at times.
Notable: James Badge Dale as Sam, Nick's good friend.
Sheriff Frank Parson (Robert Taylor) is Tara's father and Frank has always been against Nick marrying Tara, but she did anyway.
The shootings are not as clear as they should have been. We don't see all the shootings. We see Sheriff Frank see bodies at a motel and at a gas station. We see Frank Grillo as Sloan in the beginning a lot, but that's it. Very brief scenes later on with him in them. Also the pacing could have been better. Seems like the script was a rush job. Not good
When Nick follows Sloan (Frank Grillo) with his truck, the next thing we see is Sloan running from Nick and Nick shoots him. We didn't see Sloan stopping and getting out of the truck and running away and yet, he had gun in his hand and doesn't shoot back at Nick.
Near the end we see Sheriff Frank telling Nick he has to take Nick in, but Nick says he cannot go back to prison. Sheriff Frank does tell Nick that he agreed with everything Nick did to avenge his wife's death. At the last scene we See Sheriff Frank mulling over his life as a good Sheriff and the decisions he made and we are not sure what that decision was about Nick, but we do see Frank is driving Nick's pick-up.
This could have been good, but it wasn't. (2/10)
Violence: Yes. Sex: No. Nudity: No. Humor: No. Language: Yes. Rating: D (only because of the good acting)
