Shotgun Stories

Shotgun Stories is a 2007 drama film about a feud between two sets of half-brothers following the death of their father in rural Arkansas.

Kid plans on marrying his girlfriend, Cheryl, should he get an expected raise, but worries about providing for her and staying faithful.

Son and Boy are unaware that Mark's brothers Stephen and John were involved in the fight until after Kid's funeral, when an acquaintance named Shampoo tells them.

The less combative half-brothers force Stephen to accept the truce, but he worries that Son will not hold to the agreement.

The final scene of the movie shows Son and Boy enjoying a peaceful afternoon on the porch with Carter.

The site's critical consensus reads: "Thanks to a talented cast and its uncommon depth, Nichols' debut manages to rise above its overly familiar plot.
