Meskada

(2008) Meskada MYSTERY/ THRILLER

Written and directed by Josh Sternfeld, straight to rental and as the film called "Meskada"- it's really a name of a town where a particular sheriff works at, his name is Noah Cordin (Nick Stahl) whose been assigned to investigate a murder/ death of an eight year old infant. It is soon found out that the perpetrators lived in Hilliard and that it was only an accident since it was only supposed to be a robbery where they assumed no one was inside. Hilliard also happens to be the town where Noah the sheriff grew up in. Much of the town's residents eventually reject his presence and the negative reputation that evolved within the community since their was supposed to be some employment attraction and the result of this death kind of prevented it from happening. All I can say is that the police not caring about how that last person was killed was totally stupid, and a total contradiction about how the police really operates. It also has some similarities with "Mystic River".
