About this movie

While traveling abroad, Charlie Countryman (Shia Labeouf) falls for Gabi (Evan Rachel Wood), a Romanian beauty whose unreachable heart has its origins in Nigel (Mads Mikkelsen), her violent, charismatic ex. As the darkness of Gabi's past increasingly envelops him, Charlie resolves to win her heart, or die trying.   First time feature filmmaker and 6-time DGA nominee, the acclaimed Fredrik Bond, creates a genre defying romantic adventure filled with mystery, comedy, drama and violent tension. Evoking the unforgettable films such as True Romance, Wild at Heart, Slumdog Millionaire, Trainspotting, and Pulp Fiction, THE NECESSARY DEATH OF CHARLIE COUNTRYMAN is a playful, exhilarating, fast paced journey about loss and love conquering all. 2013 Countryman Nevada, LLC All Rights Reserved

Ratings and reviews

I seriously think he's underrated and am glad to see he's getting work. On the other hand Evan Rachel Wood is in everything all of a sudden and I can't see why. Personal preference perhaps. The movie was a bit arty, a bit wierd and romantic (though what he sees in her is a bit of a mystery). Worth watching once at least.
