This next film is about an older sister trying to take care of her younger siblings and her mom. The backdrop is the Ozarks and a group of individuals who live just outside the law. Jennifer Lawrence (1) plays Ree and she is not accepting the answers she's getting. Those answers don't help solve the family's issues. John Hawkes (2) portrays Teardrop, her uncle, who is trying to help. Yes, that's the character's name. This is not an action film, unless you consider target shooting practice or beating a juvenile for being nosey as action. Winter's Bone (2010) is a very engaging mystery and is this week's selection.
(1) Passengers, week 27.
(2) Rush Hour, 1998.
