If the destination proves less intriguing than its various journeys promise, it's still the kind of craftily assembled, generally watchable B-movie that might merit a gamble.

Rated: 3/5

You can't help thinking how good the Coen brothers' Fargo was in comparison.

Irish Times

Big fleecy hats with earflaps are doffed to most of the actors. But, with this script, Deadfall was always destined to be a whiteout.

Rated: 2/5

The Last Thing I See

The bleak, raw landscape is a great setting for a hard-boiled crime tale full of desolate characters wandering on intersecting paths.

Rated: C

This is a gruesome film, though it is lightened by the force of its talent.

As thrillers go, this is clumsy, cliche-ridden old stuff.

I remember watching this over 10 years ago and thinking it was just alright Studio Canal and Magnolia Pictures present Eric Bana, Olivia Wilde, Kris Kristofferson, Charlie Hunnam, Treat Williams, Kate Mara, and Sissy Spacek directed by Stefan Ruzowitzky Two bank robbers, a brother and sister, Addison and Liza getaway with a big score A briefcase full of casino cash but a car crash has them stranded in the open snow-filled countryside They separate to make it avoiding the authorities; Addison invades a couple's home and Liza falls for a boxer, Jay that picks her up while driving home for Thanksgiving being released from prison It's only a matter of time before the police track them down I like the cast in here and much of the movie's setting You really do feel the blistering cold of the harsh weather conditions from the snow to the blizzardy winds, it feels very searing much like these people's lives This is snow-filed neo noir meets dysfunctional family drama with being much more violent than I remember You do admire and loath Addison as this kind of villain and Liza is a sympathetic kind of femme fatale being confused about her motivations of where they stand while falling in love This is a forgettable viewing with some thinnish characterization but manages to be a good late night time killer, it's all about setting expectations

Sometimes we need a simple story to create an intense, satisfying action thriller.
