Although not quite Last Train from Gun Hill, this is an emotionally-involving revenge drama that endeavors to dramatize the costs of personal revenge more than the revenge itself - a nice change from the staple fare of US cinema. Building from a simple premiss, we move toward a stirring climax.

A tad sentimental about pets, but Brian COX, Kim DICKENS and Tom SIZEMORE make this under-written character-driven drama eminently-watchable.
