Deadfall
Dir: Stefan Ruzowitzky
2012
**
Deadfall is a very average thriller. I can't help but think it was written around the idea of simply setting a thriller in the snow because thus far, Fargo is the only really good one. Eric Bana's Addison is an interesting character and the only reason to keep watching. Everything else from the characters and the locations are borrowed from other films of varying quality. The majority of the film is long-winded and serves no purpose to the overall story. The film could be edited down to ten minutes without loosing any of the important aspects of the story and here lays the problem.
