Vic goes from cuckold to killer over the course of the film, and it’s not at all clear what flips the switch. In a private moment with Joel, Vic makes what he later describes as a joke, claiming to be responsible for Martin McRae’s disappearance. It’s his way of threatening this impertinent stud, of letting him know he’s not as “cool” with his wife’s playthings as she must claim, and it works. Joel backs off. But the story gets around, and new-to-town neighbor Don Wilson (Tracy Letts) even takes him at his word, going so far as to hire a private eye after another of Melinda’s “friends” turns up dead.
