John Hamm is decent because he never actually has to be funny. Everyone else is funny around him! He's 'the straight man." SO he can be the basic good guy cop grieving his dead wife who is afraid to move on. While this role holds none of the demands of the odious womanizer Don Draper, it also has none of the demands of being a comedic actor, which John Hamm is not. No problem here!
I found this flick legitimately enjoyable though some aspects were ridiculous it doesn't take away from the overall light mood and the reasonable progression of a cohesive story line. YMMV depending on what you consider funny, obviously.
Like I said, I totally enjoyed it, I mean like REALLY enjoyed it!! It's a movie you can watch twice in case you wanna share it with your friends and go with it a second time.
Hamm and Tina Fey feature some nice chemistry and work well to keep the energy going. Sure there are elements of Fargo and Rear Window sewn into the plot but, they only act as pepper there's much more seasoning here to keep you interested.
The picture is lensed by John Hamm's former Mad Men co-star John Slattery. He has a nice feel for suspense, tension and utilizes the dramatic mountain ranges of New Mexico to good effect.
A fine supporting cast of memorable character actors keep you interested. There's a twist or two but, mostly it's a slow burn thriller that pays off. Give it a try.
Really not much here that I can say was remarkable or even really enjoyable. John ham and Fey are okay I guess, but every scene just seems flat with little chemistry. I doubt there were many takes and they just moved thru the script during filming.
I just don't really see the point of this. Bad guys, good cops, damsel in distress, unsolved murder. There's literally hundreds of better versions of this type of story. Bland 5.2/10.
Does this review have spoilers? No. But the movie is entirely selfspoiling, so it wouldn't matter anyway.
Really the cast behind the minor characters somewhat rescued this movie from being totally unwatchable. Guy who played jay was excellent. The villain was quite menacing.
Hamm was rather charming, and played it nice and subtle. Tina fey and nick mohammed weren't given much to work with.
Could have really done without being so blatant to the point of having contempt for the audience. Written by someone who maybe appreciates dark comedy but just can't muster it up themselves?

- AnecdotesThe movie was being filmed at the same time, in New Mexico, and right down the street, as 'Rust'. The cast and crew went to the memorial after the tragic shooting on the set of that film.
- GaffesAlthough Jay is struggling to make ends meet, he seems to have no problem finding gobs of cash to pay the hit man for each new job.

Jordan Sanders: Someone once told him, it takes courage to be happy. He didn't understand it then, but he thinks he might now. The problem, he realized, is all the heartbreak. For some, it comes more often than others, but he knew well, it comes for everyone. The irony is how the heartbreak made his own life clearer; showed him a path to the happiness he'd been so desperate to find. Obviously, some people don't have that difficult a time. Some people are born happy and stay happy. And to those people, he thought, good for them. What a gift. For others, he knew, it's just the opposite. They fight losing battle after losing battle, until, finally, they lose the war. The rest, the majority even, it's a constant struggle - somedays good, some days not so good. They keep at it though; wake up each morning, hoping to catch lightning in a bottle. Which he knew was a cliche, but also believed that's what happiness was. The sad thing was, when he realized too late that he had once held the bottle, he held that bottle right in his hands, with the lighting buzzing around inside. He was just too stupid or too foolish or too proud to realize it. And he let it get away from him. So was that another heartbreak or another part of the struggle? The truth is, he didn't know yet. He just knew it would take some courage to find out.
