The ever versatile and prolific British director Michael Winterbottom returns with another brilliant film which is violent and disturbing but with a purpose. The classic novel by Jim Thompson is adapted by writer and director John Curran about a small town sheriff whose dark side unleashed when he meets a beautiful prostitute. Winterbottom delivers a stunning film about the frailty of the human psyche that can snap at any given time. The violence is shocking as it should be because the abundance of violence in cinema has been overused that it hardly affects the audience to what it actually means to kill another human being. Casey Affleck gives a chilling performance that evokes Norman Bates but is far more lethal without the mother. The outstanding cast includes Jessica Alba and Kate Hudson.
