After repeatedly seeing a preview at the beginning of multiple movies for “Cut Bank,” a mystery thriller with a promising cast that includes John Malkovich, I decided to succumb to target marketing and check it out. The tale of a fraudulent caper gone awry with a cast of quirky small-town yokels, it ended up being fairly derivative, but at least it was derivative of good stuff.
In the small town of Cut Bank, Montana, Dwayne (Liam Hemsworth) and Cassandra (Teresa Palmer), the two most conspicuously attractive young people for miles, long to escape, but Dwayne’s ill father requires depressing and constant care. Fortune perversely smiles upon them when Dwayne, recording Cassandra’s routine for a beauty pageant, witnesses the murder of the town’s cantankerous mailman (Bruce Dern). His video, capturing the mailman’s death, is therefore worth a huge reward from the Feds. How convenient.
