3/5
While the dialogue is uninspired, the plot is an interesting exercise in noir-ish duplicity, and culminates in a tense showdown. Go to Full Review

3/5
Although some dislike its slow pace, The Winter Lake does not disappoint. From the setting, sound design, casting, and cinematography, Sheerin's directorial debut contains all the elements of a good movie. Go to Full Review
