A hell of a Thanksgiving in northern Michigan

This is a wintery crime thriller in the mold of "Fargo," "A Simple Plan" and the later "Wind River," It's the least of these due to contrivances and occasional bad scripting, like the police chief's eye-rolling verbal abuse of his daughter (I'm not saying mistreatment like this doesn't occur, just that it could be written & executed more convincingly).

Yet the snowy, sylvan landscapes are great and the thrills are constant. Plus there are some interesting neo-noir dramatic threads and you can't beat the notable cast, including the striking Olivia Wilde (who looks like she needs to eat some hamburgers). Eric Bana plays a killer, Charlie Hunnam a fleeing ex-con, Kris Kristofferson & Sissy Spacek an aged couple at a farmhouse and Treat Williams & Kate Mara police officers.

It runs 1 hour, 34 minutes, and was shot in Quebec, in areas outside Montreal.
