Interesting plot, fine acting (overall). Script was weakened by paying too much attention to the fishing metaphor, and not enough to the real theme of economic desperation. Lead character's descent from lovable uncle to violent vigilante was hard to accept.

Enjoyed the Minn. fishing lore, very realistic portrait of these folks. The negitive was the choice to go against the text, felt to contrived and affective.
