I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Where to begin? The last few reviewers pretty much covered it - contrived plot, undeveloped characters, extremely poor acting (maybe it was due to the poor writing and directing), and the most unbelievable ending I have seen in a long time. Did the dad really sit down to listen to Linda Ronstadt after all the killing that had just taken place? Really??? Was this supposed to be a horror movie? Someone could have taken the basic premise - troubled kid getting out of prison to try and make a new life with dad out on the range learning to deal with adversity and making good decisions and so forth - but Mr. McGatlin was not the one to get it right. I noticed that most of the actors have not done much in the three years since this movie came out. Talk about a career killer...

This movie is as tedious as they get with a weak story line, wooden acting, one cliché after another and an embarrassingly contrived ending. Don't waste your time - you will be disappointed.As the story opened I quickly got the feeling that things in this place move along at a glacial pace and everyone speaks in stereotyped cowboy English. I can't believe there is still a script writer in America who would make a character say "Howdy sheriff". It goes downhill from there. I really can't understand how this film is getting any glowing reviews. Maybe they are all relatives of the director or investors in the film. It really is the only possible explanation.

I've seen people comment that the film is too slow.. but there's no rule in the book which says that a film can't be slow. It's slow because the script is written so.The movie deals with the character of 'Dillon', a very unlucky son. The story revolves around him and his father.Also I didn't notice any 'bad acting' in the film. It's a nice movie and I honestly believe that it is underrated. It deserves way more than a 4.2. In fact, the movie is different. The ending is a bit melodramatic but overall it's a good movie. Just watch it and decide for yourself.

This film, apparently written, produced and directed by a film-industry based accountant, was certainly made on a very strict budget but that fact cannot excuse the lack of character and soul that comes through the lens of the camera. The actors did their best, in my view, in what is a rather interestingly put together idea, concept and material. However, the dryness that comes through the lens lacks emotion, depth and/or conviction. This little movie is one of the, if not THE, most depressive and inane concoctions I have ever seen put together on film. It really could have been good, perhaps, if it had a soul. The execution was not up to par. The end result is a TERRIBLE movie. Try, again, sir...but try not to contrive emotion, it just falls flat. Perhaps, consider a director?
