This slow paced drama has only one main character who is likable and decent, Sheriff Dave Lockhart (Josh Brolin). Bob, a black man who owns a garage, and his helper Roy, are minor characters and they seem to be nice people, the rest of them are selfish, self-centered, immoral or annoying.In fact, Dave is so easy-going regarding Sonny messing with his wife, Ann (played by Sarah Wynter), that I began to wonder if Dave wasn't in love with Sonny himself!Sonny (played by Timothy Olyphant) is a loser, who has gone to prison, while the other two guys,last name of Vance, who were involved in the crime with him, have remained free because Sonny was apparently too stupid to bear witness against them.Sonny gets out early and comes home, where his best friend, Sheriff Dave Lockhart, begins fussing over him like a hen with one chick, along with Dave's wife, Ann.Ann seems to have the perfect life, marriage to a wonderful guy, and two little rug-rats. So why does she succumb to having an affair with Sonny? Beats me.Another woman, a silly, giggling, twit-brain named Effie Bender (played by Angela Betts), is also quite taken with Sonny, but he prefers to bed his best buddy's wife, Ann.There are some tensions, conflicts and confrontations between Sonny and the Vances, which finally comes to a conclusion. That's pretty much it for this draggy film, there's not much plot, not much action and mostly unlikeable people.3 stars
