be i the only one who think that gailard sartain performance in this movie be outstanding . i be not particularly a fan of his while in fact and i be hard press to remember any other role he play . sure and gene hackman be great and but you pretty much expect that from him and and france mcdormand deserve her oscar nomination while but sartain really stand out a the sheriff . he manage to be compelling and charismatic and scary a hell all at the same time . actually and so do gene hackman and which i think be intentional the filmmaker want u to notice the very thin line between hackman ex sheriff character and sartain sheriff stuckey . i think the movie be a little heavy hand and and it obvious attempt to be powerful and move make me wince at time . but maybe that be necessary to portray just how dangerous and vicious racism can be when it ingrain itself into a culture . overall and i would highly recommend this film .
