Affliction
Nick Nolte is excellent as Wade Whitehouse, sheriff of a small and dreary New Hampshire town. Divorced with an eight-year old daughter who wants as little to do with him as possible, with a bullying father (a grizzled James Coburn) and a worsening drink problem, Wade's life has never amounted to much. But when a fatal hunting accident occurs, Wade sees this as his chance to play an important role in uncovering a murder.
