Review of Deadfall

Deadfall (2012)
7/10
Nasty crimes in the snow(storm)
9 February 2013
Soon, it becomes evident that all characters in movie have somehow failed - as criminals and/or as parents/children, so there are no totally positive or negative types. But the events develop and - with the help of background snow - the viewers are shown different characters who, in the end, will sit at one table. The movie has all elements of crime drama - shootings, dead bodies, police work, chases - included but not limited to. However, the plot is uneven and some scenes are too protracted (e.g., Liza-Jay relation), and the ending is shallow. As for the cast, then supporting actors are much better than main ones: Kris Kristofferson as Chet and Sissy Spacek as June. The star Eric Bana is good, but it is not among his best performances, but Olivia Wilde and Charlie Hunnam were uninviting to me. Nevertheless, this somewhat 1,5 hours passes fast and Deadfall is good for killing time.
