"This is only a business opportunity. That's all."
Margaret Hall (Tilda Swinton) is worried about her teenaged son Beau (Jonathan Tucker). When she finds out that Beau is hanging out with a gay drug dealer Darby Reese (Josh Lucas) she drives to Reno to bribe the dealer to stay away from Beau. Later that night, Darby visits the Hall home and rouses Beau to come out and talk. The two go to the Hall's boathouse where they have a fight.
The next morning whilst on a job, Margaret discovers Darby's body along the shore and, suspecting Beau murdered him, she disposes of the body. Alek Spera (Goran Visnjic) visits Margaret with a damning video and blackmails her into giving him $50K to avoid having the video turned over to the Tahoe City police.
Also appearing are Peter Donat as Margaret's father-in-law who lives with them; Tamara Hope and Jordon Dorrance as Margaret's other children;
Based on the novel The Blank Wall by Elisabeth Sanxay Holding. Screenplay and directed by Scott McGehee and David Siegel.
Run time: 1 hour, 41 minutes
Rated R for some violence and language, and for a strong sex scene.
My personal rating: B
