Deadfall (2012)
Directed by Stefan
Ruzowitzky this film stars Eric Bana, Olivia Wilde, Charlie Hunnam,
Kate Mara, Kris Kristofferson and Sissy Spacek. Following a casino
robbery a brother and sister split up after killing a policeman
during a snowy night on the American/Canadian border.
There are a lot of
moving parts to this thriller but they mostly just add detail rather
than depth. While the cast of this film is impressive I found myself
left wondering what drew them to this project as it is a fairly run
of the mill story. The direction is average and does not really make
use of the impressive snowy landscapes and towards the end the script
does threaten to get a little melodramatic but just about stays clear
of that.
3/5
