5.0 out of 5 stars Break-out performance by Robert "Bob" Nalwalker, March 10, 2003
By 
This review is from: Sure Fire [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Jon Yost may have done it again. Bob Nalwalker is a fresh new actor that will be hard to ignore. His gritty performance as "the sheriff" will leave you breathless. Yost obviously uses Nalwalker as a touchpoint that beautifully ties this movie beginning to end. The humanity he brings to his role is a clever counterpoint to the ramblings of "Wes" played masterfully by Tom Blair. Rural life has never been depicted in such a real yet disturbing manner. Yost sets the viewer free and provides ample time to digest the poignant theme. Fade to black editing is as cutting-edge as it is primative.

1.0 out of 5 stars World Artists should be ashamed of themselves..., March 16, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Sure Fire (DVD)
This is absolutely the worst DVD I own. The actual film is quite good but for this release World Artists chose to transfer from a video source and the results are close to unwatchable. The image is dark and murky throughout and the poor quality is especially damaging during shots of what are supposed to be beautiful Utah landscapes. I cannot imagine Jon Jost would approve of this.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fine, disturbing study of cultural decay, April 21, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Sure Fire (DVD)
This is a an excellent low-budget film about a controlling, possibly psychotic Utah businessman and his eventual meltdown and the way it affects his already tenuous relationship with his family.
Interesting in the way it portrays middle America as a place of extreme spiritual and emotional corrosion. Blair is very, very creepy in the lead.

Similar in many ways to Michael Haneke's films in that the focus is extremely narrow and the director's primary statement seems to be about cultural decay.

This is definitely not a film one would watch to be "entertained". But it is quite powerful.
