Review of Small Town Crime (2018) by Caf2042 — 01 Mar 2018
Small Town Crime is a 2018 indie crime-thriller from the Nelms brothers. I had heard nothing about this movie when I put it on last night, and I can honestly say that I was blown away. This is an incredibly engaging, intelligent thriller featuring an incredible performance from John Hawkes.
This rivals Winter’s Bone as his best performance, and every time he was on-screen I was captivated. The direction shines, and shows an impressive amount of restraint. As the plot unwinds, every twist and turn is surprising and shocking and insane.
The final third of the movie reaches a fever pitch of tension and is absolutely incredible. Honestly, I didn’t think I would see such an amazing movie so early into the year.
