Storyline
A modern fable set against the rugged backdrop of a Pacific Northwest logging community, this is the story of Lillian, a young woman newly returned to her hometown who becomes the subject of harassment by a man named Blackway, an ex-cop turned violent crimelord who operates with impunity in this small community on the edge of the wilderness. Forsaken by the local townspeople, advised by the Sheriff to leave town, Lillian decides instead to take a stand against her sociopathic stalker, and enlists the help of an ex-logger Lester and his laconic young sidekick Nate-the only two men in town brave enough, or crazy enough, to go with her, and go up against Blackway.
Movie Reviews
Chilly, silly Northwest backwoods thrillerDaniel "brother of Tomas" Alfredson directed two parts of the Swedish Millennium Trilogy, so its no wonder this chilly American thriller, filmed in British Columbia, should feel so... well, Scandinavian. If the lens were filtered any further the movie would be monochrome.
Julia Stiles plays Lillian, a stoic young woman living in a Pacific Northwest logging community, whos being bullied by local gangster Richard Blackway (Ray Liotta). When she goes to the sheriff shes fobbed off and told to leave town. Instead, she enlists the help of old-timer Lester (Anthony Hopkins) and young bruiser Nate (Alexander Ludwig). Together the trio head into the hills to track down Blackway and stop him for good – by whatever means necessary.
With confidence and determination in the face of grotty small town politics, Stiles is channelling something of Jennifer Lawrences classic Winters Bone performance here. Lillians outlook is definite (and defiant) to a fault: "Some people are just bad," she concludes.
Alongside Stiles, Hopkins soft-spoken style is sometimes at odds with the confrontational nature of his character, but hes eminently watchable. And Ludwig is strong as a stuttering soulful warrior who could have been a swaggering cliché.
The first hour is all character-building, and this is where the film is at its strongest. The plot is simple and linear – the ideal foundation for characters to come alive through their interactions, often enriched by the vaguest mention of some unseen life; some mourned-for ex- wife. The dialogue rings true and the characters feel lived in, which is vital for depictions of tight rural communities.
There isnt much in the way of humour, but Go With Me is at least in touch with its absurdity, and its a lot more fun than Scott Coopers ostensibly similar Out of the Furnace. This film is fast- paced and full of interesting incident – up to a point. Unfortunately in the final reel the narrative unravels, and the climactic confrontation is a frustratingly dark, indistinct mess. It leaves you with a sense of hard work not quite paying off.
Overall its a solid movie. Thanks in part to the terrible UK title (its called Blackway in the US), its likely to go unnoticed by a wide audience, but it deserves attention.
