A Violent Separation

This is a pretty solid flick. It's not your typical thriller, and I feel like it falls more in the vein of Fargo. If you like Fargo, I'd say you'll like this movie as well. I'm not sure why the deputy's uniform has Texas on it when the movie seems to be set in Missouri? That's the only strange thing I saw, but maybe that had something to do with the county where it's set. The acting was impressive. Ted Levine was amazing, as he always seems to be. If you like artistic cinematography, there were a lot of impressive shots. Kudos to the director and cinematographer! It's one of those films that weighs on you after you watch it. It's a bit like watching a car wreck. You know things can't end well, but you keep watching anyway.

Hey, producers. Note: If you go to the trouble of intentionally setting your storyline in Missouri and go to the trouble of creating a fictional county and making sure the license plates say "Missouri," go the extra mile and make sure the deputy sheriff in the film isn't wearing an prominent "Texas" patch on his shirt. From the point that I saw that, all I could think was this story had a rank amateur lurking in the background somewhere.

This movie has very fascinating dramatic story lines, amazing acting, especially from Alycia Debnam-Carey who was beautiful in this, and visually stunning. Most people don't know how hard it is to pull this off with only the limited resources and time this indie movie had and even for a big budget film it was truly very enjoyable! Definitely worth the watch!

I thought this was very good. The only criticism is that it should be under crime drama and not crime thriller. The crime starts the movie and then we see how time, guilt and life is changed for all of them due to that one event. Definitely one of the better flicks I have seen in the past few months.

Flaws in the script.. Many things don't make sense or not believeable but I still watched it
