I really did not like this movie much. It’s violence is sickening and the story is not very compelling. Something though makes this not total junk. It’s main character is played perfectly and stoically by Casey Affleck. He is a sick individual who has no redeeming qualities. He seems like a nice down home Texas boy in the 1950s when the movie opens up. That makes it all the more jarring when he explodes. This cycle gets a bit tiring though and by the time we get to the inevitable conclusion I was really ready for it to be over.
