The Lesser Evil Movie Review 1997

Derek (Feore), the struggling owner of a lumber business, has invited three former high school buddies to his cabin in the Missouri woods. Ivan (Howard) is now a priest, Frank (Goldwyn) is a police officer, and George (Paymer) is a big-shot attorney. As teens they got mixed up with two deaths and a coverup that has now come back to haunt them. Now, just what kind of justice will prevail? Good cast, nice mix of flashbacks, and a satisfying final twist.
