Scout Tafoya on Lynn Shelton and her underrated 2014 movie LAGGIES. Meeting Lynn briefly on the set of SWORD OF TRUST in Birmingham (thanks to my pal Jack) was one of the highlights of my life. Always thankful for her work and always beyond sad sheâs gone.

of the Narrows Street is a familiar story, but the deftness in depicting character and unflinching in how he shows the consequences corrode our main cast over decades makes the tragic story hit with real force. Up there with Lehane as a gutting tragedy masking as crime.
