Slow Burn Thriller that Pays Off
25 June 2023
Don't understand the hate for this nifty little thriller. Bodies start to pile up in a small town in Albuquerque, New Mexico. John Hamm and his trusty assistant Deputy Ready are on hand to sniff out the clues and put the pieces of this tricky puzzle together.

Hamm and Tina Fey feature some nice chemistry and work well to keep the energy going. Sure there are elements of Fargo and Rear Window sewn into the plot but, they only act as pepper there's much more seasoning here to keep you interested.

The picture is lensed by John Hamm's former Mad Men co-star John Slattery. He has a nice feel for suspense, tension and utilizes the dramatic mountain ranges of New Mexico to good effect.

A fine supporting cast of memorable character actors keep you interested. There's a twist or two but, mostly it's a slow burn thriller that pays off. Give it a try.
