Peculiar details like these enliven “ Heartland ,” a missing-person mystery that returns writer-director Shana Feste to the Nashville milieu of her 2010 sophomore feature “Country Strong.” So does Jessica Chastain ‘s surprisingly brash, beery performance as Misty, whose no-bullshit demeanor serves her well when she must turn amateur detective, investigating the disappearance of a relative who happens to be a rising country star herself.

What it isn’t, at nearly any point, is an effective thriller. Feste’s thin screenplay is heavily reliant on Chastain’s brio to sustain a quest that only narrowly makes sense on a moment-to-moment basis, and never gathers much intrigue — since the villains are all glaringly identifiable as such from the get-go, while Misty’s rough-diamond integrity is never in doubt.

The result is diverting straight-to- Netflix fare, sparkly and disposable as a rhinestone, though its star commits as though it were something more. “There’s no such thing as good girls,” says Misty early on in proceedings.

It’s not entirely true — the character hides a kind, true heart beneath a gruffly embittered exterior — but it’s a solid pointer for Chastain, always at her most interesting when playing characters who are either morally off-base (“Dreams,” “A Most Violent Year”) or at least a little prickly and defensive. And she comes out, quite literally, all guns blazing: In the film’s opening minutes, she feuds with a neighbor on the remote Georgia pecan farm where she’s settled, eventually taking a shotgun to the woman’s windows.

It’s our first taste of the hot temper that cost her a mainstream music career years ago — they called her “the cunt of country,” she says with some relish — though she rarely wields it against someone who doesn’t deserve it. It’s that hard-headed quality that her brother Donny (Paul Sparks) calls upon when he comes to her for help.
