Don McKay (2009)

Don McKay is Jake Goldberger's debut as both a writer and director, and he got a lot of the small town ideas right. Sadly all the other elements ruin the movie. You early realize what's wrong and what's supposed to be wrong, but its painfully obvious and annoying to wait for the director to get to the point. I rarely have to take that many sittings to get through a movie, but poor Don McKay's story is one left better untold. Thomas Haden Church, Elisabeth Shue and Melissa Leo does well as the leads, but the script they have to work with could bore most people to death faster than the thriller-elements used in the movie.
