This is very engrossing and while it is not a mystery as to the culprits, it keeps you on the edge to see if justice can be served and maybe with our own modern day TV viewing, looking for everything to fall neatly into place, and it doesn't. It shows what can happen in real life, how the community is affected, what the community thinks and wants as opposed to what is right/wrong. This is a great thriller,keeps you in the film all the way along and you can see sometimes in life, it's not always right that prevails. The atmosphere and setting really makes the film and while this landscape is foreign to me, it gave me a good feel for life there in terms of the film (I did look up the towns population which is small).
It is realistic as you know it won't be some Hollywood perfect ending where everything is tied up into a nice neat bundle. Mind you, not Hong Kong genre either which always seems to end bad. Differences in endings across the Pacific I suppose!
