A brother and sister (named Addison and Liza) rob a casino, but are involved in a wreck as they make their getaway north. The brother decides that they should split up to find a different ride to the Canadian border.
A ex-boxer (named Jay) is released from prison on good behavior just before Thanksgiving. His first phone call is to his parents up north, who ask him to come home and celebrate the holiday.
Hanna Becker works for the Sheriff's department, and daily finds herself undermined by her colleagues for the mere fact that she's a woman. It also doesn't help that the Sheriff is her father (and he does most of the undermining).
How will all these different characters cross each others paths?
This movie had plenty of potential to be good. While it's not terrible, it's not good by any means. It has a fantastic cast including Bana, Kristofferson, Spacek, Mara, (can't remember Charlie's last name), Wilde, Williams,, but even that does not make it better than it is.
The main problems with this movie (imo) are the writing, editing, and direction. (One scene in particular was just laughable in its execution)
I'd give it a 5.2 rating overall.
