I definitely took a liking to this little tale of rural folk exercising their rights to be a little enterprising at the expense of a large financial corporation, and of the twists and turns as time unravels all their all-too-human motives. NoI definitely took a liking to this little tale of rural folk exercising their rights to be a little enterprising at the expense of a large financial corporation, and of the twists and turns as time unravels all their all-too-human motives. No great art here, just plain home-cooking, like a decent lunch it left me satisified but still wanting something more. Expand

Engaging characters, distinctive dialogue style, twisty plot, humor - in short, a fun movie worth watching just for Malkevich. A very underrated film.

It's not an action film (obviously), but a somewhat curious tale that tells a story of cascading actions, that result in crime. The ending really got me thinking, which is always the callsign of a good movie.

The ending really got me thinking, which is always the callsign of a good movie. Great cast, great acting, great pacing. Teresa Palmer is really a lovely actress who made the film work for me. This time she plays a simpleminded countrygirl, who manages to be so lovely that it really contrasts into a somewhat melancholy boyish feeling. John Malkovich is great as well. It's a very 'american' film with a real retro country in the hills, far from the city, vibe. Sad and beautiful the same. Expand

The coldest place in the country feeling heat of murders!

It's not about Wall Street or the financial related related film. The title is where this story sets in, a small town in the United States. This is a thriller about a young man Dwayne, who captured the murder of a mailman while making a video with his girlfriend. Following the event a series of murders takes place. When he comes to know the killer is after him, it's time to reveal us why it's all happening. Meanwhile the sheriff intensifies his investigation considering for the first time such thing happening on his watch in the town.

Really a good theme, but some silly plots or the reason behind events makes us to feel this is a stupid film. I mean people can do anything for the silly reasons, but the film did not convince on that. Though the locations were good and so the actors. Hemsworth, Malkovich, Dern, Palmer, particularly Stuhlbarg was very good. The narration had no point of view, it was told from every character. It was directed by some television filmmaker, should have been better, but not bad for a view. This is a hit and miss thriller, I hope you watch it for a simple entertainment than anticipating too much out of it.

6/10

The plot itself could've been better handled, but that's the least of its problems when your lead actor isn't quite up to the task, and that's because Liam Hemsworth completely lacks the mettle and characteristics for the kind of role he plays.
