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 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!

An english language movie telling the story of a man (Shea Whigham) returning to public life for prison. He visits a well heeled gangster who orders him to perform one more job. This entails killing the gangsters old love interest.

The rest is an obvious play, Carrie Coon plays the love interest of the gangster and her trapped in the car with her would be killer goes through all the steps you can imagine. Her voice for some reason is strident, and just a little annoying. Something lacks on the audio here, it goes to the plot that she would be loud and demanding, but it does travel to the middle of ones brain!

The ending of the movie goes past it's climax and soon we cannot wait for it to be over. The great things about the movie are the pictures and photography are clear and beautiful. So many modern movies take the slow burn to hell and back, but this is very well paced. If you get a chance, do watch this one. Great plot, acting good, direction is good too. Pity about that sound....
