a man of principle sets out to make things right, 20 April 1999
8/10
Author: helpless_dancer from Broken Bow, Oklahoma

This is the best film that I've ever seen Cusack in. He plays a family man that is unfairly taken advantage of by a wealthy land owner. After failing to obtain satisfaction through the courts, he feels compelled to take matters into his own hands. L.Q. Jones was superb as the villainous land owner; in fact, the picture was well done by all. Thumbs up.
