I have a problem. I am looking at the synopsis of a movie which is suppossed to be a suspensful

thriller about a man dissatisfied with small town life who inadvertently captures a murder on tape. Expecting to collect the reward money, and start a new life he instead finds himself in a dangerous game of cat and mouse with a psychopath

It stars Billy Bob Thornton and Bruce Dern

I have two problems:

1. Which one is the psychopath?
2. Should I even waste my time watching this just find out which one is the psycopath?

I'd recommend checking the reviews/approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB ... mr_lebowski Jan 2019 #1

I have no idea. But Dern makes a good psychopath IMO. dem4decades Jan 2019 #2

I think you are right, he might have a slight edge still_one Jan 2019 #4

Also, see if you can watch a preview on line. It may not tell you which is the psychopath, but might give you a better clue if you want to watch it.

I find those two things can often save me a lot of wasted time.
