This film deserves zero stars. Literally every character was a POS. The main characters, Sue and her boyfriend Dion are bottom of the barrel, small time, inept criminals, stealing from people and murdering them. Amazingly, the filmmakers try to sell them to us as heroes. As the story moves forward, we're shown the hopes and dreams of these theiving murderers, which is intended to make them sympathetic characters. F U to the milk face idiots who thought we'd be cool with two scumbag losers murdering and stealing and having the film treat these acts as though they're justified and praise worthy. Speaking as someone who has associated with small time low life criminals on a professional basis, I find it disgusting. Only filmmakers raised in a privileged, protected bubble are silly enough to try and justify stealing from and murdering innocent people as righteous acts of downtrodden proletarians. They even get a happy ending. I'd give them a happy ending alright. If I could choose the ending, I'd give them cancer, then have someone curb stomp them and drop a deuce in their mouth. This film is total effing garbage. GTFOOH with this BS.

In The Dirty South, a heartbreaking bartender takes extreme measures to keep her family's bar, when the small town big shot goes after the deed.

I quite liked this, it's engaging and gritty from go to whoa, with a likeable lead performance by Willa Holland. Not perfect by any means and doesn't do anything particularly unique or memorable, but a good film nevertheless. I'd say also what holds it back a bit, is detail missing and moving on to the next scene without visually resolving the current one. Maybe that helped the flow, but loses its impact that way. One example's near the end, when Mark says he came back for her and wants to take her away all this, we don't see the end of that conversation. We just hear her thoughts, that he's not the one for her. I'd assume Mark would be willing to do anything and she'd have to flat out say no, you had your chance. Film has good music too.
