English Contract killings, cheating, a load of money, a corrupt sheriff, a dangerous femme fatale, a psychopathic hitman... and a young guy who got caught up in all of this against his will. Very well written and directed by John Dahl, Red Rock West tells a Coen-like story, but it stays within the confines of a pure American thriller genre movie, without any “artsy” double meanings and allusions that the Coen brothers would have lent to it. Dennis Hopper fits the role of a crazed killer well, but sometimes he is too much of a redneck to be taken seriously. A darker and more dangerous goosebump-inducing killer would have taken the movie up a notch. ()
