Ebert, I guess called this the thriller of the year, it's far from that. I will say it does possess a pretty good story and in saying that, I didn't think it was that thrilling. The movie is about Ree (Jennifer Lawrence) a 17 year old girl who because of her mother's sickness is forced to take care of her younger siblings in Missouri. The sheriff comes to the door and tells Ree that they are looking for her father and that her father placed a bond on the house. So, now Ree is on the hunt to find her father and she discovers an ugly truth about her father's where abouts. The movie almost seems mafia like, the way most of her the neighbors around her act. It's not a bad movie, butto me it doesn't fit the bill completely. I give the movie a B- only because Jennifer's acting is absolutely superb and they really found some weird looking people that fit the bill of hicks in Missouri.Talent scouts and casting agents really do a good job finding people to pay certain roles and they achieved that in this film. So a big salute from me to the unsung heroes of these films.
