Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shot in just 24 days in Massachusetts, with Church reportedly taking the role because he wanted to play against his usual deadpan comedy type.
The film deliberately mirrors classic noir structure but replaces femme fatale with something more disturbing: a whole town conspiring against one broken man who may deserve it.
