Über diesen Film

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.

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.

Very very slow paced film that tries desperately to go somewhere but never quite gets there . Very uneven performances especially from the protagonist the actor seemed like he didn't quite know which direction to play the character? . One thing good I can say about it is the original score very dark brooding score. Save your money pass on this one.

Jon bernthal has become a really good actor since getting big break on walking dead , this hasn't the best movie but wasn't horrible either it was ok , but Jon is still good in it !!
