Our take
Screen legend James Coburn may have been the one to win an Oscar® for his role in this shattering drama from director Paul Schrader—but as the washed-up sheriff caught in the suffocating grip of small-town acrimony and generational trauma, it’s Nick Nolte who gives the performance of his career.
