John Dahl's seductive, sly thriller never takes a false step.

A neat and prickly little thriller, dressed up in cowboy noir clothing.

The film itself wallows seductively in the twisted, consumptive murk of America's small towns.

Red Rock West is a potboiler at heart. It’s a film that trusts that its audience will find its narrative twists compelling in and of themselves—the cinematic equivalent of comfort food.
