In America
To begin all over again is a classic American dream. But it's remarkably hard to do, as Irish emigres Johnny and Sarah...
In the sun-drenched, deceptively tranquil surf town of Eagle’s Nest, a single murder is about to spark three wildly interconnected tales of greed, betrayal, and bloody farce. At the center of this chaotic web is the impeccably dressed and lethally cynical hitman Charlie Wolfe, played with darkly comic precision by Simon Pegg, who finds his simple assignment spiraling into a triple-crossing nightmare. The potential victim, a seemingly innocent young woman named Alice Taylor (Alice Braga), becomes the unwitting prize in a scheme involving her desperate husband (Sullivan Stapleton), a corrupt police officer (Bryan Brown), a duplicitous dentist (Callan Mulvey), and a reckless bar owner (Luke Hemsworth) entangled with a local beauty (Teresa Palmer). As lies unravel and motives collide, Kriv Stenders directs this stylish and savage thriller where every character is both hunter and prey, and a single bag of cash can buy a lot more trouble than anyone bargained for. The film masterfully blends dark humor with brutal tension, painting a portrait of a small community where everyone has a secret and no deed, however deadly, goes according to plan.
