Cut Bank (2014)

Prairie noir set in the real world small town of Cut Bank, Montana. The movie feels like an entire season of Fargo condensed into about 90 minutes, and boy does this movie want to be Fargo, it wants to be Fargo way too much. Really good cast including Billy Bob Thorton, Oliver Platt, and Michael Stuhlbarg (all of which have filmed a season of Fargo) and Bruce Dern and John Malkovich who should do seasons of Fargo. In the end its like a dollar store version of Fargo. Has a few good ideas, none of which are adequately explored. **

See instead: Fargo
