The film is dark and moody, some loosely refer to it as noir. The mountainous backwoods locations of West Virginia fit the films atmosphere perfectly. However, there's something very important missing.
I've read a couple pages of reviews and am amazed not a single one even hinted at a huge plot piece missing from the film. The main character accidentally shoots a women while hunting, then discovers a large pile of cash in the hovel where she was staying in the woods. He hides the body and takes the money. Soon the bad guys come looking for it. One key question: why do they even suspect who did the killing and took the money? There's not a single mention of why they come after the killer. Did they see him shoot her? See him hide the money? Anything at all? Nothing. It's a large blank left unanswered and really left me flat. Thumbs way down.
