Diane Lane and Kevin Costner star in this surprisingly dark drama. They are a couple trying to get their young grandson, Jimmy, away from a dangerous family, after their son dies in an accident and their daughter-in-law remarries.
The film co-stars Jeffrey Donavan and Leslie Manville. Ms. Manville plays the menacing matriarch of the family where Jimmy is living with his mom and stepdad. Mr. Donovan plays her nephew.
Most of the film moves at a comfortable, deliberate pace amongst the beautiful scenery of Montana and North Dakota building slow tension until the third act when the situation turns inevitably violent and very ugly. Ms. Lane and Mr. Costner have great chemistry and are very natural together but this is far from a "feel good" movie.
