Best movie of this year hands down!
Robert Joyner
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

The character idea of the movie sounded original.. type of a killer that you would not suspect or expect.. The story of the movie sounds like it is something not predictable Hollywood like. But unfortunately, it develops and ends exactly like other cliché Hollywood movies. The idea and the start could not fill any promises, could not continue to evolve into anything interesting. I would not recommend. It is not the worst movie out there for sure but really, it develops very predictable and ends similarly, almost wondering how could it end now and like this?!

Miss Meadows defines the limits of her reality early then reveals throughout how she actively avoids being a victim as passive life events expose themselves. From the emotions reflected in her sock choices to tireless maintenance of white garments, the frutility of living in the walls Miss Meadows' confines herself within, she interacts in society through locked doors and open windows. I was uncomfortable with the anti-Catholiic scenes as most know Katie Holmes' past Scientology affiliation makes you wonder if there is a specific agenda being propagated. This is a movie to watch on a quiet morning, without too many expectations.

Miss Meadows (Katie Holmes) is an elementary school teacher with an apparent heart of gold. She also has a zero tolerance approach to ne'er do wells and exacts righteous justice using a hand gun. Then she starts a relationship with the town's sheriff (James Badge Dale) and her whole life gets turned upside down which leads her to face up to the past as the inevitability of the future looms ever nearer.Now I rather enjoyed this 'quirky' film, it has a sort of charm and is very stylish – especially Miss Meadows – she even has 'clothes on sex', but is has been criticised for being right wing. The idea that there is only one way to deal with wrong doers and that is by taking a leaf out of Draconia's handbook. The way it is presented does have a hint of unbelievability about it and I thought it may have been a spoof like say 'Super' nearly was. It though does not play for laughs or satire and is a basic relationship film and so does not mange to hit the right notes – which is a pity as everyone in it does a really good job and it is an easy and a short watch. If in doubt go for rentals this is not one that will benefit from subsequent viewings.

Miss Meadows (Katie Holmes) is a nice prim substitute grade school teacher on the outside but she is something more underneath the facade. She kills criminals on the side and talks to her mother (Jean Smart) on the phone. She starts dating the local sheriff which conflicts with her extra-curricular activities. The sheriff gets suspicious but asks her to marry him as soon as she tells him that she's pregnant.Filmmaker Karen Leigh Hopkins has filled this with a lot of quirkiness but none of it is funny. It doesn't work as a black comedy. All the quirky keeps the movie from going truly dark. There is also a lack of intensity especially considering the killings. This should be either much darker or more surreal. This feels like it's a step away from being a good interesting movie.
