I watched In The Bedroom a few months ago. It has some great actors in it but has a tough storyline.
In a nutshell a couple's sun who is 18 and is poised to go to college to be an architect gets into a summer fling with an older woman who has a kid (Marisa Tomei looking very hot) His parents are worried he will fall for her and skip college to be with her and throw away his future.
One afternoon her Ex (a violent jackass) shows up and is about to attack her. The younger guy jumps in, there is a struggle and a gun and the younger guy is killed. The Ex (the killer) has a very wealthy dad and many people assume he will get off in the trial. The parents of the now dead son have to live with losing their sun and the reality that this guy may get off. The father contemplates vengeance of his own as this happens.
It is not a happy movie, but it is very good.
