Congrats on the effective trailer. You tricked me into thinking this might be a gritty, southern-fried crime/revenge flick with a bunch of shotgun blastin'. There's a little bit of that but unfortunately this is more in line with something I'm observing more and more with our terrible cultural climate. That's right. Dreary Americana. This is maudlin and melodramatic as all get out. Pinning things on some really great actors helps a ton but Place Beyond The Pines or Hell Or High Water this ain't. This isn't quite as bad as Sovereign and it's not a purely fantastic exercise. Rather, it's like a long episode of a show that's somewhere between Justified, Sons of Anarchy, and Yellowstone. Catch it on streaming on a lazy afternoon and you'll probably have a good time just don't go in expecting Cold In July or some shit.

Is it derivative? Sure. But it’s also very well acted and a great look at the vicious cycle of a man being a product of his own environment and being unable to escape his nature. He’s a rattlesnake.

went into this movie knowing absolutley nothing about it and came out loving it! its amazing seeing Billy do his thing in a lead role after so many sideroles. felt a lot like Hell or High Water in terms of story and vibes.
didn't like some of the plot choices but a really solid indie film that no one is going to see. that saying please see this

A movie with an interesting premise but fails to deliver. I think it begins fairly strongly, but a lot of moments after the robbery bring down the vibe. It doesn't help that the main antagonist, played by James Badge Dale, doesn't do it for me. He tries to be intimidating, and they have framed in shadows a lot to heighten his "scaryness", and I don't know why, but I don't believe in the performance. Billy Magnussen is solid in the lead role, looking stoic and killing people. It's a cool change of tone for me to see like this since I only remember him from being in Lilo and Stitch earlier this year and playing silly and animated. I found it hard to keep up with the family members and who was on which side, all that was confusing. Everything else is unremarkable.
