I will say that Teardrop, with his meth sniffing and gun toting and ax wielding, did not seem that mentally sound to me. Maybe the cop was not a psychopath, but he was both corrupt and ready to have a shoot out with Mr. T.

All in all, this movie does not make country living look all that attractive.

Consider that this film was done in the Ozark Mountains area of Missouri. At last estimate, there were over 53,000 meth users in the Show Me State. Missouri has had a long and troubled past with meth production and as a distribution center for the finished product.
Not that long ago, illegal liquor or "moonshine" was a big problem. Now it's "hillbilly crack".

Peace, good beer and barbecue!

  some good friends of mine live down near Bolivar. It's always seemed a bit less gothic than portrayed in the movie, in fact an all around pretty nice place. But that's the nature of movies, and that's OK, in a noir or neo-noir, you don't get bright sunny vistas, you get darkness and cold.
LOL! No, it doesn't. nt - tinear 10:45:58 07/13/10 (0)
