Deadfall
Director: Stefan Ruzowitzky
Actors: Eric Bana, Olivia Wilde, Charlie Hunnam
PlotAfter robbing a casino, siblings Addison and Liza make a run for the Canadian border in a blizzard but crash their car, killing a state trooper. They decide to split up: Addison heads on foot through the woods while Liza is picked up by an ex-boxer named Jay, who is on his way home for Thanksgiving with his parents, June and retired sheriff Chet. Jay had just been released from prison and unwittingly becomes entangled in Liza's dangerous world as their chemistry grows. Meanwhile, Addison survives the wilderness, leaving a trail of bodies behind him as he negotiates his way towards the border.
Unbeknownst to Jay and Liza, the police are hot on Addison's trail, working to piece together the violence he's left in his wake. Tension rises as Jay brings Liza into his troubled family home, and Addison, relentless in his quest, edges closer to reuniting with his sister. Parallel storylines of flight and pursuit converge in an unforeseen climax, fueled by desperation, loyalty, and a confrontational stand-off that questions moral boundaries and survival instincts.
