O ovom filmu

A mysterious stranger sends shockwaves through a close-knit community in this nerve-jangling slice of raw suspense. In the wake of a triple murder that leaves the residents of a remote Alaskan outpost on edge, tightly wound drifter Elwood (Christopher Abbott) checks into a motel run by Sam (Jon Bernthal), a former rodeo champion whose imposing physical presence conceals a troubled soul. Bound together by their outsider status, the two men strike up an uneasy friendship—a dangerous association that will set off a new wave of violence and unleash Sam's darkest demons. Driven by tour de force performances from Christopher Abbott and Jon Bernthal, this precision crafted thriller pulses with an air of quivering dread. With Imogen Poots and Rosemarie Dewitt.

Wow, this movie came out of nowhere. It's a perfect movie with great characters and a good plot. The "out of town" stranger character does great job at grabbing my attention throughout the whole movie. It leaves me wanting more but I mean that in a good way. 5/5 STARS

Not sure why all the good reviews. This is a movie where nothing really happens and then it ends. It goes for a dark and brooding theme that does little to advance the story. None of the characters are likable. Jon Bernthal is the strongest actor on screen but he is under utilized by the tone at which he's supposed to play. There are a lot of backstories that never get fleshed out. In the end I literally said "that's it?" out loud. I was hoping for a real gem and was left wanting.

Pretty good, kept my interest. Too dark to watch on my phone, had to watch on my tablet. Reviews were great but I still had reservations. I'm glad I watched it, though.
