The big problem is this : the movie delivered no message. Bunch of poor / wicked church-going country folks in worst case scenarios was the only theme in this movie, but nothing of a higher level are to be extracted from those scenarios. Quite frankly, this movie's inability to find it's aim had taken a serious toll on the final result of the viewing experience, and wasted some really good acting from a stary cast. What left me uneasy after the movie was not that the protagonist seemingly ended his revenge journey with no real consequences (he don't have much more to lose anyways). But that I was simply really hoping, the identity of the VO would be revealed as one of the characters who observed all along (say, uncle Earskell?), but sadly the reason for this movie to have a VO turned out to be nothing more but a clumsy cover up for a not very well written screenplay, that failed to tie together the diverging storylines of it's characters. Overall, not a bad watch, just not quite worth the time and not any close to being the satisfaction it was starred to be.
