Synopsis

In a small New Hampshire town, washed-up cop Wade Whitehouse has a troubled past and an unimpressive streak as a lawman. When hunting guide Jack Hewitt reports a businessman’s accidental death during a hunting trip, Wade has a chance to turn around his life, if he can prove it was murder.

MUBI's take

Screen legend James Coburn may have been the one to win an Oscar® for his role in this shattering drama from director Paul Schrader—but as the washed-up sheriff caught in the suffocating grip of small-town acrimony and generational trauma, it’s Nick Nolte who gives the performance of his career.
