Starring Eric Bana, Olivia Wilde, Charlie Hunnam, Kris Kristofferson, and Sissy Spacek
Synopsis: Siblings Addison (Eric Bana) and Liza (Olivia Wilde) are on the run from a casino heist gone wrong. When a car accident leaves their wheel man and a state trooper dead, they split up and make a run for the Canadian border in the worst of circumstances – a near whiteout blizzard. While Addison heads cross-country, creating mayhem in his wake, Liza is picked up by ex-boxer Jay (Charlie Hunnam), en-route for a Thanksgiving homecoming with his parents, June (Sissy Spacek) and retired sheriff Chet (Kris Kristofferson). It’s there the siblings are reunited in a terse and thrilling showdown that pushes the bonds of family to the limit.

Deadfall... Probably a film most people have not seen yet, and will not get the advertising it truly deserves. This is a very hard movie to review, because there are so many different film genres mixed in a short 1:30 hour movie. Basically its a story about a heist that has gone wrong, and the different ways the people of a small town get affected by the crime and the 2 criminals(Eric Bana, Olivia Wilde). The strongest point of this film has to be the acting from Eric Bana, and Charlie Hunnam. The tension built throughout the film between the 2 leads, even though they hardly interact until the last 15 minutes, was the best part of the movie. If it was made before the reindeer games, and other similar crime films i probably would have rated it higher, but unfortunately it comes across as a little plagiaristic. I wont go into the details about the plot because that would just ruin the experience of a good, but probably one time movie. All in all I give it a 7/10.
thank you for this, i love my charlie!
