...former colleagues, however, nab a handy dull-witted fall guy (strikingly played by Benicio Del Toro), and when he commits suicide, they gratefully close the case. Jerry doesn't. There are similar, unsolved crimes in the area, some of them dating back years, and he thinks there will be more. He buys a gas station-convenience store in a fishing village near the center of the various crime scenes, adopts the pose of a benignly retired guy and awaits developments. He also takes up with Lori (Robin Wright Penn), a battered but brave waitress who happens to have a daughter...

None of this can dull a fine performance by James Barbour, a magnetic and strong-voiced Rochester.
