A Sordid and Murky Half-Thriller

Deadfall seems promising, at first glance. The wintery setting is treacherous and compelling and the premise and set-up are well-executed. Once the plot gets going, though, the film can't decide what type of movie it's going to be - a dysfunctional family drama or a cold-blooded thriller. It tries to be a little of both, but doesn't excel at either. The actors try to do what they can with the material, but a lot of the family drama scenes are emotionally overwrought and full of misplaced dramatic cliches. Likewise, the action sequences (other than a brutal opening car crash) feel tired and energy-less. The ending stand-off has its share of tense moments, but the ending feels abrupt and cliched. Potential was there, but this film just misses the mark.

eric bana who plays the psycho brother is brilliant in this movie as he goes on his killing spree , There is a link between the brother & sister the ex boxer and the female sheriff as far as they all have something in common which is their problems with there fathers which makes the film very interesting .
a dark and deadly movie with superb acting , the ending …
