Small town Crime is a crime thriller directed by Ishom Nelms and Ian Nelms. The director duo's previous project was a low budget comedy starring James Lafferty and Danny Glover. This time they took it up a notch and created this awesome entertaining fun filled mystery.
Small Town Crime is a story about an alcoholic ex-cop who found a body of a girl of the side of the road and takes it upon himself to find the killer at all costs. Little did he know that it may pose a danger to people he hold dear to his heart.
The lead is played by John Hawkes, who you might remember from his Oscar nominated performance in Jennifer Lawrence starrer Winter's Bone. Hawkes is the heart and soul of this film. He portrays a raging alcoholic who has little to live for, is hilariously unapologetic and sometimes outright crazy. But never did he falter in playing it in any way. One of the strong point of this film is mature acting from Hawkes as well as the others. Hawkes' character remained true to its nature even as the story was getting complex with the unexplained murders of underage prostitutes in this small town. The story is well paced and thoroughly enjoyable.
One thing which I found little annoying was that the climax could have been more exciting. But this could be because as I was near the end I was so much into it that I didn't want it to finish.
As Small Town Crimes is on Netflix trending list now a days, its high time you catch a good budget movie with classy action filled with mystery, thrill and occasional but effective humour.
