Jeremy Saulnier directs Aaron Pierre, Don Johnson and AnnaSophia Robb in this thriller where a former Marine grapples his way through a web of small-town corruption when an attempt to post bail for his cousin escalates into a violent standoff with the local police chief.

A little bit Jack Reacher, a little bit Rambo. Slow burn, deliberate. Saulnier is the king of whispered bubbling stove pot action. Johnson is delicious as the villain.
