Lake George

The story unfolds at its own pace. Neither lead character is particuarly compelling, but the actors do an excellent job of making the audience care about them. We get just enough back story to be intrigued. This was not meant to be Pulp Fiction or Fight Club. As subdued stories go, this was excellent. There is enough money on the line to make this story interesting. Well-written, well-directed. I would have no idea how much of an audience a film like this can hope for, but I watched a lot of movies, always looking for something different, something to show me a story in a way I haven't seen before and this fit the bill. Well done to the cast and crew. Very glad I saw this movie!

This movie is my first time(to my knowledge), I have watched a movie starring either Shea Whigham or Carrie Coon. The movie moves rapidly, wondering what is going to happen next??? Shea does a great job, but Carrie...knocks it 'OUT OF THE PARK'! I was immediately captivated by her screen presence and ability to create a character with so much charisma, wit, cunning and resolve. No matter the obstacle, she has the solution. She was so convincing in that role, just a masterful performance, and a joy to watch! I find it rare, to watch a movie with this degree of quality in the script and acting. All the principals in the movie, gave great performances, Kudos to all; especially, Carrie!

This movie stands tall in its genre (neo-noir). The movie's greatest strength is the chemistry between the two main characters and how their relationships develop throughout the movie.

This is a love letter to some of the most beautiful areas in Southern and Central California and is shot beautifully. The cinematography on display seems to ramp up throughout the movie and gradually becomes grander.

The plot of the movie did more than enough to keep me interested. The ending had me thinking for a few days, which is always a sign that the movie stuck with me.

This is one of Shea Whigham's best performances. Carrie Coon is also great. I have not watched Jeffrey Reiner's work in TV, but this guy is a capable movie director and I hope he makes his transition to movie directing permanent.

Sometimes a decent indie film comes along and makes a pleasant change from all of the big-budget tripe being shown.

Shea whigham is always great to watch and this time plays a down-on-his-luck bum. He approaches a gangster for money he's owed after being in prison.. the gangster refuses the money unless he does one last job. Carrie Coon plays the gangster's humorous ex who teams up with Shea and end up in a few dilemmas.

It's a simpleslow-burn movie but it's definitely an enjoyable film with some nice California scenery thrown in.

I would say it's a comedy/noir/thriller/road movie.

Not bad at all.

Their sketchy yet irresistible deal keeps you hooked, while the story's shady twists lead to unexpected redemption. It's fun, unpredictable, and has a SoCal local vibe that makes it easy to connect with. Cities like Thousand Oaks, Goleta, and Lake George in Mammoth Lakes, California, give the film a familiar, grounded feel for anyone who loves this area. The characters are quirky yet relatable, and their misadventures are packed with humor and heart. There were genuine outbursts of laughter in the theater during several scenes, showing just how well the comedy lands. I enjoyed it so much that I bought the movie to watch again at home and noticed even more little details the second time around. If you're looking for something entertaining with a mix of chaos, charm, and local love, I highly recommend this film!
