My wife and I first became aware of Kellie Martin in the TV series, "Life Goes On." We liked her immediately. She was fortunate to play the intelligent, realistic character. Someone with integrity whom you knew you could count on.
Then again in the series, "Christy" we saw more of the same personality. A young woman dedicated to the teaching of children in the rugged and somewhat backwards environment of the Appalachian mountains. Facing some old superstitions and deeply entrenched beliefs with unrelenting determination she stands her ground against some very intimidating people and circumstances.
In this movie, Kellie has given the best performance I have yet seen. Mild spoilers here, nothing to ruin the movie for you. She is most convincing in her quest to learn what happened to her husband who should have been on a boat that blew up. Maybe he was, maybe he wasn't. She gets between the FBI and some very dangerous people who threaten to kill her and her whole family but she doesn't know why. Along the way she meets some very interesting and even humorous people. She has to dig deep down to survive this mess. The ending has a twist or two that should be satisfying.
Hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
A seven rating from me is high.
