It focuses on the conflict between the land baron O'Connell and his disdain for the poor family. O'Connell and the eldest brother Jacob lock horns in this dramatic western that highlights the consequences of poverty and addiction.
Thicker than Water is a tragic and powerful story of brotherhood and retribution. Clayton, Jesse and George try to hold on to their homestead while James O'Connell comes to steal,kill and destroy.
I'm not trying to be rude, but this film is obviously budgeted, and everybody looks super photogenic and clean, in yet the producers have it set around western times in 1920s. The 1920s especially during the depression and in western times while doing farm work is supposed to be dirty and messy and it looks like the actors were afraid of getting dirty. <br/><br/>The two actors Thornton and springborn have potential but the guy who plays Clayton was obviously trying too hard to act in the film, and anybody who says otherwise, obviously hasn't been paying close enough attention to be able to give constructive criticism. <br/><br/>I couldn't even finish the film because it was that much crap. <br/><br/>Everything from the facial expressions, to the western accent was totally fake and obvious acting. Would suggest to the actor not to think too much on the fact that he is acting and playing a role- there is an expression on his face that tells me that he feels stupid because he is acting and questions his abilities. When people watch a movie, they want to get lost in the movie because it seems real and not obviously acted out. Food for thought.
