First-rate acting in this unusual indie film

First-rate acting is at the center of this unusual indie film. Chopper Bernet, Lisa Darr, Clancy Brown, and Stephanie Niznik lead a strong cast in this story about a man who finds a frightening message scribbled on a twenty dollar bill and can't get it out of his mind. The film is complex, takes risks and requires some patience, and that's exactly what makes it good. Especially impressive is the relationship developed between the main character, played by Bernet, and his wife, played by Darr. It's nuanced and real, and explores uncomfortable issues rarely seen in films. Clancy Brown is great as usual. And another thing, the photography is incredible.
