La justice ou la loi

I first saw this movie in the 10th grade. For the next few years I probably saw it 30 times. My high school theater teacher... who changed my life, was in the movie. Gene Kusterer was the man who touched my life the most (besides my father). He might have not been famous but he was the person I looked up to more than any one person. The movie might not be known to many people outside of North Carolina but I really enjoyed it. Mr. K showed us how to "die" several times through out my theater days in high school. Maybe not the most convincing performance of all times, but still one he should be proud of. He was not only a teacher he could be viewed as a an actor, a great father, a great father figure, a friend, and a mentor.

Being from Rutherford County myself, it was quite an intense movie for me as having family and such who knew the real people the movie portrayed. I'm also proud to say my father had a brief role in the movie and I'm very happy I have finally found a place that I can purchase it as a reminder of him as he has since passed away.

Really good indie film. True story of an NC sheriff.

Earl Owensby is very believable as the sheriff who runs the county by "Damon's Law" -- passion, justice, soft heart (when necessary), and lots of good ol' common sense. Some GREAT, classic scenes that make it a stand-out among indies.

The film was just begging to be the makings of a pilot for a TV series that would've shot Earl to the REALLY "big" time, if one can say that. Any man who's been profiled on "60 Minutes" and had feature articles written about him in "Esquire", "GQ", and the L.A. Times has made it to the top in my book.

Make more films, Earl. You're not done yet!

I enjoyed this true story of a North Carolina sheriff who avenges the death of his deputy brother. Has the same feel of a "Walking Tall". First time director, Thom McIntyre does a great job. McIntyre also wrote the screenplay.
