Director: Zak Hilditch

Starring: Thomas Jane, Molly Parker, Dylan Schmid

A simple yet proud farmer in the year 1922 conspires to murder his wife for financial gain, convincing his teenage son to assist. But their actions have unintended consequences.

Thomas Jane is a great actor and he seldom disappoints. The rest of the cast were equally good in this very believable drama about a man who fell out of love with his wife. To complicate matters, the farm is in her name, and she wants to sell the farm and move to the city, dreaming of opening her own boutique. Wilfred (Thomas Jane) can’t imagine giving up the farm life, though, and decides to get rid of her.

The idea of killing your wife is disturbing alone, let alone convincing your son to help! Wow, I never expected the film to become so creepy. This was disturbing on a psychological level, as well.

The film effectively illustrates how one decision can set in motion a roller coaster ride of events that would ultimately effect so many people. This was amazing!
