It's mainly about brothers estranged by one's success and the other's sense of failure. The failure is played by Benjamin McKenzie, who was popular on "The O.C.," I hear, though I never saw that show, and he gets festering Southern male disappointment dead right. The cast also features Scott Wilson as the father of the two brothers. Scott Wilson played the more talkative of the two Clutter family killers in the 1967 "In Cold Blood," and dozens of other parts since then.
This is the kind of film Angus MacLachlan's fellow regionalists should be supporting, instead of those cannibal-hillbillies-feast-on-invading-teenager epics. Or movies in which cars blow up at regular 12-minute intervals.
