It feels less like a conventional film and more like a severe, almost biblical illustration of cause and effect. Thomas Jane portrays a man in an unhappy marriage with Molly Parker. When she decides to sell their small ranch—which includes fields of high corn—he conceives a plan to get rid of her. He involves his 14-year-old son Dylan Schmid, and the ensuing events depict retribution, whether from a higher power or human action. The film focuses primarily on what befalls these two men as they confront the repercussions, rather than presenting a traditional narrative structure, which is where the pacing noticeably drags to an extended, deliberate pace. Given that it originated as a brief story by Stephen King, expanding it into a 100-minute feature was always going to be challenging. While visually striking at times, it ultimately comes across as a methodical and somewhat tedious film, lacking depth in its characters to inspire any real connection. The imagery occasionally becomes intense, but not particularly impactful, and the conversations seem drawn out, reiterating points we’ve already understood much sooner. It's more of a moralistic tale than an enjoyable cinematic experience.
