I normally like action movies. I've often (semi) jokingly said that unless at least 5 people die while the credits are running, I probably won't like the movie. This movie is NOT like that, but I loved it. Well acted, sterling cast and a great storyline that probably doesn't stray too far from the truth as applied to many small New England towns.
I especially liked Ed Harris and Helen Hunt. He's one of the most underrated actors and did a great job as the town "intellectual" (since he'd been to college)and she played her part as a frustrated wife, ex-wife, bride, divorcée to a T.
I would like to have seen a chapter or two more, bringing resolution to certain situations in a more complete way. It's very easy to have a 2 or 3 minute Epilogue to dispense with loose ends. I felt somehow shorted by that.
All in all tho', a movie I will recommend to friends and family alike.
