Apart from its great soundtrack Bad Country is one of those silent gems based on real events in Louisiana involving the taking down of a criminal syndicate that threatened American politicians in the heart of democracy on Capitol Hill in Washington D.C.
The story is set in 1968, when American cars were long and wide and the latest communication technological advancement was the pager, and when policing was very unorthodox hence the baddest of them all, local detective Bud Carter (Willem Dafoe).

During a local bust Bud Carter feels something is not right and that evening's successful shootout and arrest of local hoodlums, was scratching the surface of something bigger and goes to work to dig further, which uncovers a deeper more sinister criminal network, which sees the mayor implicated Daniel Kiersey (Neal McDonough).
The way to bring down this criminal syndicate is to find the weakest link, which happened to be one of the soldiers Jesse Weiland (Matt Dillion).
Jesse Weiland is loyal, and he and his brother Tommy (Christopher Denham) are rounded up and placed in prison and, disappointing to Jesse he doesn't get bail.
Tommy Weiland senses that they are not safe in prison as various threats are either insinuated or overtly made, and he is not wrong, despite Jesse reassuring him nothing is going to happen.

Though Jesse reassures his wife Lynn (Amy Smart), as they recently welcomed their daughter to the world, and this puts Jesse vulnerable to both Bud Carter and his fellow criminal brethren.
Which way Jesse turns to doesn't really matter when his wife and newborn daughter get assassinated, then as many people would once, they've lost something dear to them the rampage begins.
Though you are left with the feeling and sense that if you didn't do crime then you wouldn't be in this situation is perfectly reasonable and sensible to believe is the right approach and viewpoint, but everyone's lives are different and if you grow up in destitute conditions it is easy to fall victim to those who prey on vulnerability of being and groom them into a life of crime and carry out criminal activity and behaviour to dirty their hands while the kingpins keep theirs not perfectly clean and free from suspicion of doing no-wrong.
How it all plays out and ends is something you should take some time to watch!
