Wow, this wasn't good. The script is pretty much forgettable with some painfully ridiculous moments. Not to mention the dialog. In fact, this is the most cliché "American" film I've ever seen coming from a European director. I just don't understand why the director would want to make a film like this. American farm life, gun laws, the type of xenophobia the film deals with - not issues that a Finnish director should be concerned with, in my opinion. The universal motives are there, but don't stand a chance to salvage this mess of a script. Thanks to some fine acting by Ironside and a select few others, it's not a total waste of time. Almost, though. I'm not ready to write off the director based on this, but I surely won't be standing in line when his next film premiers.
