This remake of Sam Peckinpah's classic 1971 psychological thriller transposes the events of the first film from Cornwall to the American Deep South.

James Marsden stars as David Sumner, a Hollywood screenwriter who moves with his wife, Amy (Kate Bosworth), from LA to a house in his wife's small rural hometown to write his new script in peace and quiet.

But tensions brew between the two amid the intense heat and isolation, and an escalating conflict with the locals eventually drives a naturally even-tempered David to violent and drastic measures.

Josh Hartnett and Samuel L. Jackson star in this drama about a journalist whose life changes after he writes an article about a homeless man who was once a boxing legend. Reporter Erik Kernan Jr. (Hartnett) finds the opportunity to prove himself to his boss (Alan Alda) and his family by writing a heartfelt piece about a former professional boxer (Jackson) who has since fallen into homelessness and destitution and now spends his days raking through the rubbish bins of Denver. Writing the article leads to a soul-searching personal journey for Erik as he finds himself re-examining his own past and his relationship with his family.
