Lake George

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.

This was a complete surprise and a real nice one.

This movie stands tall in its genre (neo-noir). The movie's greatest strength is the chemistry between the characters and how their relationships develop throughout the movie. In addition to that, this is a love letter to Southern California and is shot beautifully. The plot of the movie did more than enough to keep me interested, and the ending had me thinking for a few days, which is always a sign that the movie stuck with me. A lot of surprises along the way, see it. Both of the main characters had great chemistry, highly recommended. Gangsters and such.

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.

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!
