set in 50,s Texas this film is a tribute to that period ,the clothes, music and lifestyle perfectly framed with some beautiful photography,Casey affleck plays the softly spoken polite sheriff Lou ford who is every ones friend a chance encounter with a beautiful prostitute brings out his dark side although this quickly becomes love tinged with some s&m ,the 2 plot to extort money from one of her clients but Lou has other plans to with darker motives,this film has been controversial because of the violence towards women and i must admit that the scenes with Jessica Alba and
affleck did make me turn away this was shocking ,but effective in showing how seriously deranged
afflecks sheriff was,generally the whole cast give good performances ,
affleck,Alba and Kate Hudson shine through but it was
affleck softly spoken psychotic sheriff who steals the show,the film looses some momentum toward the end but never the less i found it very engaging and thought provoking.
