Boyne Falls (2018)
8/10
Nifty survivalist thriller
23 March 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Reckless Dominick (a solid performance by Alex Harney) and his more sensible straight-laced buddy Eddie (an equally sound portrayal by Mike Kopera) are at the end of their ropes with their extremely strained friendship and business partnership. The pair are forced to work together in order to stay alive after they run afoul of evil meth dealers during a camping trip in the deep wilderness.

Writer/director Steve Kopera keeps the absorbing story moving along at a constant pace, takes time to develop the main characters, makes nice use of the breathtakingly beautiful sylvan scenery, and generates a good deal of tension. The sturdy acting from the capable cast keeps this movie humming: Juan Monsalvez as ruthless ringleader Seth, Jeneta St. Clair as the icy and vicious Big Em, Tevis R. Marcum as brutish lackey Banks, and Brooke Heatley as Dominik's no-nonsense girlfriend Lora. Oren Benamor's sharp cinematography gives this picture an attractive bright look. A cool little flick.
