“What Remains” (* out of four) was a static character melodrama about a small-town pastor (Cress Williams) who has to challenge his own feelings of forgiveness when the convict (Kellan Lutz) whp murdered his wife is released on parole; meanwhile the town sheriff (Anne Heche) investigates another murder that may or may not be related. Heavy-handed dramatics and molasses-moving script and direction render this nearly unendurable; Williams’ strong performance is wasted. Heche is wasted in one of her final film roles.
