If you want a chilly, suspenseful thriller, watch Transsiberian, which co-stars the completely-wasted-here Kata Mara.May 12, 2013
A strong cast makes up for thinnish characterisation, and it's so like Fargo it might as well be called "Fargone".December 14, 2012
Perhaps the best thing about "Deadfall" is the lifelike messiness of its ending. A couple of the characters have a lot of explaining to do, and this is one case where a sequel might be in order.May 10, 2013
Deadfall might fancy itself as a 95-minute, wintry version of Bonnie and Clyde, but it's not in the same class with its high body count failing to justify the means, not least during the ludicrous climax.December 13, 2012
Deadfall is fast and fatalistic ...December 21, 2012
Despite a super-dark noir plot and respectable cast, "Deadfall" is a thriller that never quite delivers on its promise.December 07, 2012
This is the sort of movie best encountered accidentally and for free, caught on basic cable late at night.December 13, 2012
It's sort of like "Fargo," only with a higher body count and without the wood chipper.June 16, 2013
A B-movie with an A-list cast, crime thriller Deadfall sets its plot in motion with some bracing shocks in its first few minutes.May 10, 2013
Grim displays of guilt and remorse are on show from all concerned, but the seriously glum expressions of a high-calibre cast can't inject any meaning into such a contrived story.May 08, 2013
Like all over-ambitious B-movies, this features solid performances by a mix of seasoned talent and promising young actors, all of whom deserve better.May 11, 2013
With a script that exposes its own mechanics and contrivances with such reckless abandon, Deadfall simply can't be prevented from flatlining by the solid ensemble cast and luscious visual palette.
