Miss Meadows (Katie Holmes) is an elementary school teacher with an apparent heart of gold. She also has a zero tolerance approach to ne'er do wells and exacts righteous justice using a hand gun. Then she starts a relationship with the town's sheriff (James Badge Dale) and her whole life gets turned upside down which leads her to face up to the past as the inevitability of the future looms ever nearer.
Now I rather enjoyed this 'quirky' film, it has a sort of charm and is very stylish – especially Miss Meadows – she even has 'clothes on sex', but is has been criticised for being right wing. The idea that there is only one way to deal with wrong doers and that is by taking a leaf out of Draconia's handbook.
The way it is presented does have a hint of unbelievability about it and I thought it may have been a spoof like say 'Super' nearly was. It though does not play for laughs or satire and is a basic relationship film and so does not mange to hit the right notes – which is a pity as everyone in it does a really good job and it is an easy and a short watch. If in doubt go for rentals this is not one that will benefit from subsequent viewings.
