Abby (Kaelen Ohm) has been through a lot.  A recovering alcoholic, Abby is struggling with the guilt of having caused a car accident while her young daughter was in the backseat.  Her daughter’s okay but her husband cannot forgive Abby for putting their child in harm’s way.  Needing to clear her head, Abby heads to the farmhouse where she grew up.  She hopes that her husband and her daughter will eventually join her there.  Instead, she finds herself trapped in the middle of a battle between two drug mules and a corrupt sheriff (Nicholas Campbell).

I liked Last County more than I thought it would.  It’s a straightforward thriller that doesn’t waste any time getting to the action.  Kaelen Ohm was great as Abby and I really found myself getting caught up in her story.  I wasn’t just worried about whether or not she would survive the siege led by the sheriff.  I was also really worried about what would happen with her as far as her family was concerned.  Would her marriage be saved or would she fall in love with the more sensitive of the two drug mules?  Along with good performance and direction, Last County also really captured the feel of being isolated out in the middle of the country.

Far better than I thought it would, Last County took me by surprise.  It’s on Tubi.
