Movie Reviews

Decent

This movie was advertised in our local paper, so we decided to check it out. The story is a little bare, and missing thrills. There's a lot of Fargo influence for the villains, and the Michigan accents are leaning more towards Minnesota or Canada. The character motivations are somewhat murky, and that can make this story a little difficult to get invested in, but it has its moments.

Two Leads Good

The two leads were very good. Lead villain pretty hammy honestly. I started to fast forward when he came on. Very annoying. I've visited several times and live near Ann Arbor and no one that I know of in the Upper Peninsula speaks like a character in "Fargo"! Thought some of the script also was too derivative of "Fargo." But not bad overall and fun to see Michigan scenery. It was clever to have a black kid from downstate in the Upper Peninsula. Definitely would stand out. But a smart college kid would know about things like ice fishing I think!

A Sad Profile of Middle America

Like the film "Fargo," there was a satirical portrait of a small town not in northern Minnesota, but in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. But the overall effect was a sad commentary on a hardscrabble life.The characters of the little town spoke in a heavy accent that may or may not be accurate. But the clear intent of the filmmakers was to portray them as hicks.A similar satirical approach was taken to the serious topic of illegal drugs, which appeared to be the staple of the community. David was on the run from two thugs in Miami. He had a big stash of cash that he had stolen from them. Yet he inexplicably starts up a thriving meth business in the small Michigan community.Madison's boyfriend Chris decided to get into the meth business after he impregnated her. He evidently died in an explosion. Madison's major goal in life is apparently to escape from the town.In sum, the film's satirical goals fell flat as the overall feeling imparted on the audience was that of life in middle America that was nasty, brutish, and short.
