It's hard for that to feel fresh at this stage in filmdom, and
his tired hodge - podging of hyper - dramatic tropes doesn't breathe any new life into the story.
Under the shadow of the West Virginia hills on the Ohio side of the river lies Steubenville, a
hodge - podge of solidly built, well - maintained churches and other buildings; burnt - out brick husks with gaping holes where windows and doors once were; sagging single - family houses and
tired public housing projects; warehouses; abandoned businesses; and trash - strewn empty lots — all crammed together in one compact area.
