Exceptional - creative story, well-edited, great dialog

I saw this movie at the River Run Film Festival in Winston-Salem - in my opinion it was the best of the new fictional works I saw there. Creative story, with layers of plot and sub-plots; believable dialog, well-filmed and exceptionally well-edited, especially for a first-time director. And with just the right touch of humor. Johnny Sneed was the perfect choice for the role of Carter, and the chemistry between he and Jolyn Janis (Quarry) is apparent. The cinematography captures the remoteness of West Texas, and the eccentricity of the local population - the two deputies were classic! The people who rated this a 1 should be ashamed; they must have been intentionally malicious, or maybe Grade B martial arts films are their idea of excellence. Mr. Van Dyke is clearly a talented up-and-coming director.
