M. Faust The Public (Buffalo) 05/23/2018
If the Coen brothers classic of rural noir and jet black humor set a high bar for those who follow it, debuting writer-director Josh Doke acquits himself admirably. Go to Full Review

The result is a tense thriller with noir undertones revealing a more complex web than we ever could predict. Go to Full Review

Charles P Jun 27 Mediocre to awful acting (Schultz's sheriff is a standout of bad underacting, an uncommon achievement to be sure, as she stomps out every other piece of dialogue with a patented steely stare *insert eye roll here*), decent production value, and a script that seems to barely know its own story don't add up to much here. The end was particularly laughable for this viewer, as the film tangents for some 'Bourne'-franchise-esque touches with unintentionally near-comic moments set in "D.C." or similar in the last few minutes. A slow potboiler that never quite rises above tepid - I don't see the comparison with the Coens aside from a rural location - and an utterly absurd, somewhat uninteresting plot. See more 04/29/2021 decent adventure/action. Fargo major league writing, actors, cinematography. Goodland "small ball" script, actors, scenery. Not bad. Not good. See more 08/04/2020 Nice to see a crime/western/noir set in an under seen location like Western Kansas. Definitely coen brothers-y, but that's a good thing. Main actress is really good. I love these kinds of movies, I hope they keep making them. See more 01/31/2020 loved it! great little western See more 12/01/2019 Good director. Performances by little known actors very convincing. Good editing. See more 06/23/2019 I liked it! Kinda Coen-brothersy. Nice to see something set in Western Kansas for once. Beautiful to look at! mystery kept me engaged. See more Read all reviews
