Liked it better the second time I watched!

For those from Van Buren, some were initially bothered by the amount of cussing in the movie, which is not typical in this town. My first review reflected that annoyance. This time, I simply watched it discarding what I knew of "reality" in Van Buren, Maine. The story is a plausible story that captures many of the conflicts in a border town. Attempting to cross drugs across a border is one... believing you live in Hell, and that all will be better elsewhere is another. Both Casper and Dominic are believable characters with credible attitudes and behaviours. For Casper, staying in town and following in the path his father leads is quite common, even in the real Van Buren. Dominic, like others here is infatuated with his friend, but cannot wait to leave the town That too is common in "real" Van Buren, where friends sometimes leave town together to pursue a poorly defined dream. The story, with its simple sub-plots does tell an entertaining story worth watching! Well done!
