Michael John Petty is a Senior Features Writer for Collider who writes mostly about Westerns but also loves superheroes and supernatural thrillers.
The Big Picture Not every movie with big names is a sure-fire hit, and not every Hollywood production can be a blockbuster. If that were the case, we'd all get bored pretty easily. But when you take blockbuster-level stars and put them in a small, character-driven drama, just about anything can happen.
But after Petty tells DeGroat that they "even" following Rodney's latest fight, the drug runner kills Petty and Rodney in cold blood. After his uncle Red receives a voicemail chronicling Petty's fatal conversation with DeGroat , Russell takes it upon himself to avenge his brother. Russell and Red try to take the fight to DeGroat, but to no avail.
From the get-go, we see that Harlan DeGroat is not a man to be trifled with. He's angry, arrogant, and can snap instantly if one so much as looks at him funny. Harrelson is a master at these ticks, and the blank look of disgust he wears throughout the film makes shivers run up and down one's spine. He's ill-tempered, cruel and merciless, willing to stack the deck to keep an advantage.
