Deadfall (2012)

Siblings Addison (Eric Bana) and Liza (Olivia Wilde) are on the run from a casino heist gone wrong, after an accident, and the murder of a Police Officer, they decide to split and head separately for the Canadian border, not only do they have to content with the pursuing authorities but a near whiteout blizzard.

This has the great feel of a Coen Brothers noir flick, the violence of 'No Country For Old Men' and the 'Fargo'-landscape, minus the black humour, this is one serious hard core drama, well acted, bloody, you wouldn't want to run into Addison on a bad, actually any day (the excellent Bana).

A good solid adult drama.
