Being a fan of shorts and of independent film, I thought this was worth a try. The plot: A stranger enters a small desert town with information on an old murder. OK, sounds interesting enough... and low and behold I found it exactly that, JUST 'interesting enough' for me to continue watching and not turn it off. It starts off kind of slow, but once the story started kicking in it seemed sort of obvious to me where it was going. The main character is played by Brad Wilk, a musician who could benefit from some acting lessons. But the other actors carried their parts pretty well. The dialog seemed sort of contrived and the flow of the conversations didn't always make sense. But by the time I realized the weaknesses of the film, it was over. Possibly too quickly, as I thought there were some missed opportunities (for example, the very end of the film when the phone rang, I would have liked to seen Asner answer that and hear what was on the other end.) I have to ask, how did this movie win awards? What was it competing against? Possibly only the fans of the musicians in the film were voting. Its not terrible, I just didn't find it that good. 6/10
