Imagine this in the mold of Inglorious Basterds, Deadfall in 6 scenes


This movie didn't do much for me at all, but I feel like it could have been pretty great if cut down.

Opening getaway and crash of Bana and Wilde

Extended discussion between Hunnam and his trainer, the fight

Wilde walking freezing through the woods, get's picked up at last minute of desperation

Bana in the hunting Cabin

Wilde and Hunnam gettin friendly

Everyone arrives at the home of Kristofferson and Spacek and the last half of the movie happens.

That's all you'd really need to tel the story.

With a talented director could have been a showcase for a handful of talented actors. Ditch the cops, ditch the explanations for how everyone get's to the house at the end. Spend atleast half the movie inside the home, at thanksgiving dinner, letting the actors act. Could have been fun, could have been a fantastic character study, but alas it was cheap and uninspired.

I disagree with You, I liked the movie very much. I must admit, however, that Your idea is very good, this could work. What do You think about Michael Parks playing the father's role? The role could have been expanded so he has more dialogue.

dat wudve been better tho script is razor thin...they needed a better script

scenez wid boxer and sis were no good. wilde is just a purdy face and cannot act. her only decent role wuz in tron but daz bec she playz an alien/robot.

boxer guy wuz not bad, but it lookz like hez not much a talker and just fightz

i think somewhere, somebody got scared and wuz like, wait a min, we need action!

anyway, its hard 2 make these moviez since it lookz too much like fargo or no country widout any hidden theme or allegory. if fargo and no country wuz just another action flik, they be nuttin just like dis

Werd 2 ur mudda, bruddafcker
