Trying to make a noir flick second time director/main actor Thomas Jane did manage to create a good movie. dark_country_movie_poster_01It could surely be much better, but this way it possesses some raw quality. Production values are good, although sometimes during the flick some of the scenes may seem childishly made. Story follows a newly wed couple on their journey trough the desert, where they will find out more about wrong turns and dark paths. Although the movie starts of quite gentle and benign it soon transforms into something more sinister. Thomas Jane really shined as actor and with the support of Lauren German they created a certain chemistry that you can sense. After you have seen the movie, you will have to see it again, at the end you will find out why, so its nice that it possesses that replay value. Enjoy.

Director: Thomas Jane

Cast: Ron Perlman, Thomas Jane, Lauren German, Chris Browning, Con Schell, Rene Mousseux

Rating: ★★★★★★★★☆☆ 

Fun Stuff: Thomas Jane has voiced his disappointment over the fact that the studio didn’t give the film a theater run, rather releasing it on DVD and not in the 3-D format in which it was intended. Further disappointment comes with the fact that the released cut of the film is far from Jane’s preferred version.
