The more movies I land up seeing with Michael Shannon the more I have come to appreciate the man's art. Always great at playing the heavy but in tandem with the soulful and at times hilarious especially when chastising another character.
Andrew Garfield plays "Nash," a carpenter who lives with his mom (Laura Dern, kind of on auto pilot here) and son. His home is foreclosed on and they're kicked out by the sheriff in a riveting opening scene that sets the tone and stays there for the whole picture. Shannon's "Rick Carver" is having just another day and while cold and stern he eventually comes to appreciate Nash for his construction skills and gives him a job.
How far up Carver's little empire will Nash climb? Will he try and get his original home back? How deep is Carver's corruption and how long will Nash stay loyal before he turns the tables on him? These are all good questions and can be answered by checking out this excellent drama thriller. Currently streaming on Tubi and just about every other free streaming platform out there so you've got no excuse not to check it out, it's a winner. 3.5 stars/5
