Tom Wilkinson and Sissy Spacek play a small town coastal Maine doctor and his wife. They have a college age son who is dating an oldwer woman with a jealous ex-husband. A tragedy ensues and when the couple seeks justice the system breaks down. So the doctor and a friend take matters into their own hamds. This is an excellent, riveiting story with fine realistic acting, expertly directed by Todd Field. Highly redcommended. Field cut a scene where the couple is watching "Barry Lyndon", intended as an homage to the late Stanly Kubrick, whom Field had worked with on "Eyes Wide Shut".
