The Real Review

The Deputy is a mixed bag, with more people frustrated than thrilled by this small-town crime flick. The story, about deputy Toby Sawyer losing a corpse and drawing criminal heat, is straightforward and generally works for what it is. The main problem is the pacing, which a number of people found to be a real slog. Duke Nicholson in the lead role didn't connect, while supporting turns from Stephen Dorff and Tiffany Haddish were serviceable but not enough to save it.
