so the guy brings his pregnant wife to a small town near a maximum security prison...interesting choice of destination
the town is so small that they don't even have cars, just horses & cowboys
the villain who escaped doesn't bother to hide or disappear underground until the heat is gone, no, he is a cowboy-cop-hating-bloodthirsty-killer, who must have honed his skills & attitude while being behind bars (despite maximum security)
the town descends into panic because a murderer with 2 confirmed kills (none of them being relevant to the town) lurks around, must be full of timid goody-two-shoes who faint at the mere hint of violence - doesn't quite make sense, what happened to the tough cowmen hardened by the wilderness? did they become an extinct species due to the avalanche (progress) of emo wimps?
