It's handsomely shot and I enjoyed how gory it got it at points, but unfortunately for the most part I thought this was kind of a misfire honestly. The performances aren't bad, although the actress who played the wife was very hit and miss for me, but its just kind of dull for the most part. There is also a lot of strange stuff in this movie regarding certain side characters that didn't work for me at all like the stuff with the Christian church members of the town and one of John Cusack's henchmen. Speaking of Cusack as much as I like him he wasn't that effective here as the main villain IMO. Now, I don't know if it has more to do with him either being miscast or the material just not being all that strong to begin with, but I just didn't find him all that menacing. I also have to say the same about Emile Hirsch who I have also liked in a lot of stuff in the past, but I just didn't think he fit his character at all, and what a strange decision to give him a thick Irish accent.
