DEADFALL
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.
Starring Eric Bana, Oliva Wilde, Kris Kristofferson, and Sissy Spacek.
Directed by Stefan Ruzowitsky of THE COUNTERFITERS - 2008 Best Foreign-Language Film!
“A highly satisfying Western-cum-noir in the old tradition, DEADFALL is alive in ways that are all too rare among American movies... Sharp widescreen cinematography and stellar cast.”
-Rob Nelson, VARIETY
“Recently noir has seemed marginalized, almost antiquated, in its application of dark tones that point to a suspenseful end. Deadfall, an understated, slow-burn thriller, doesn’t reinvigorate those rules but illustrates their lasting value.”
-Eric Kohn, INDIEWIRE
