Synopsis: Michael is on his way to Wyoming in a vintage Cadillac, where he's been promised a good steady job. But before reaching his destination, he finds himself in the town of Red Rock, where he's mistaken for a hired assassin by Wayne, a bartender... [More]
Starring: Nicolas Cage, Dennis Hopper, Lara Flynn Boyle, J.T. Walsh
Director: John Dahl
Red Rock West is a tasty film noir with a western twang to it and enough twists to keep hardened crime buffs on their toes. Even better than the deliciously complicated plot are the performances of a cast enjoying themselves with the ripe material.
Top Critic
Top Critic One of the most successful entries in the crowded ranks of early '90s neo-noir thrillers.
A rather ho-hum if watchable neo-noir, though it's been treated in some quarters as something special.
It's a brilliant noir movie that seems to understand the inner workings of film noir, rather than just paying tribute to it.
John Dahl's second feature is a quirky, low-budget "Western noir," baosting a fresh narrative angle and a quintessentially indie cast, including Nicolas Cage (before he became a star), J.T. Walsh, and the ubiquitous enfant terrible Dennis Hopper
[A] well-played, highly entertaining and playfully ingenious thriller.
With J.T. Walsh, Dennis Hopper, and Lara Flynn Boyle in your desert thriller, it's hard to go wrong, and in his riveting sophomore feature, John Dahl rarely gets tripped up.
A great example of western film noir from director John Dahl, a modern day master of these types of films.
It should never have fallen through the cracks. This clever little film is a real find.
Top Critic As Red Rock West reached its conclusion, I was completely caught up in its plot -- and unsure of what would happen next. That's rare in a thriller, and it's a tribute to the ingenuity, skill and craft of the people on both sides of the camera.
