Trivia
Matt Harris wrote this screenplay, originally titled "Moon of Popping Trees", in 2000. It won the Nicholl Fellowship in Screenwriting in 2002. However, he was unable to sell it, and it languished until his first produced screenplay, The Starling (2021), renewed interest in it. Director Walter Hill changed the title and rewrote it extensively.

I had high expectations for this movie. What a disappointment.

Terrific director, with a star cast of actors, I was really waiting for this movie to be released and my expectations were pretty high. What a disappointment...

The bad: the first thing I noticed was that the photography was average (at best). Almost tv quality (low level). THAT I am not used to when watching Walter Hill movies which usually have got terrific technical details. Not this time around. Even the sound score sounded average. Bummer.

But even worse the acting performances by Cristophter Waltz and Willem Dafoe were bland. As if they were speed reading their lines without any real gusto.

This looks pretty much like a Corona era movie that has been recently released and has suffered from production and money problems, because I really get the feel this movie was somehow rushed. Bummer.
