George R Oct 27, 2012 Bronson plays a writer who tracks the murder of a Mormon family to a water company looking to buy land rights from relatives. Still solid effort from Golan-Globus production team as they moved beyond their peak. Even when he is in a non-threatening job, you don't want to mess with Bronson. See more
