Blackway, played by Ray Liotta, is the baddie of the piece who, after a chance meeting with Lillian (Julia Stiles), a young woman newly returned to her hometown amongst a Pacific Northwest logging community, when he ends up hassling her to the extreme. The film looks passable, but it does fall to the age-old tale of ‘bad man strolls into town, gets everyone’s backs up to the point where they want to kill him’.
Written by Joe Gangemi and Gregory Jacobs (based on the novel by Castle Freeman Jr), the film is directed by Daniel Alfredson (The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest and The Girl Who Played with Fire) and also stars Alexander Ludwig, Anthony Hopkins, Lochlyn Munro and Hal Holbrook. It looks like it could go either way, but on balance based on who’s involved, I’ll give it a watch.
Blackway, also known as Go With Me, is released in the US on June 10th, but there’s no UK cinema date yet.
