Lake George

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....

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.

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!

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!

Been a while since I've seen Shea Whigham in the movies but then again, it doesn't feel like it's been that long. I know I have seen Carrie Coon somewhere but can't remember which movie I saw her in.

I've seen Whigham in The Wolf of Wall Street (2013). So this movie is basically about a man who gets caught up in the game and gets involved with a mobster who threatens his life.

The mobster orders him to kill a woman (played by Carrie Coon), but he is very reluctant to do so and instead becomes intent on stealing money from the guy who ordered the hit.

Both Whigham and Coon's performances are great on screen and they learn to care for each other as the movie goes on. It's not a Bonnie & Clyde type story, but it's more of a revenge/road film. Definitely recommended.
