...this dull--and a very aggressive score that tells you what you would have felt if the film (from the director of The Sweet Hereafter) had been made with more passion and craft.

He is lassoed and dragged through a campfire. His right hand is held down while a sadist shoots a bullet through it. His aw-shucks tentativeness turns to high-pitched sputterings. His thin frame is shaken with the outsize energies of hysteria...
