- Synopsis:
- Dead tired and flat broke after driving 12,000 miles, an unemployed Texan, Michael (Nicolas Cage), walks into a tavern in tiny Red Rock, Wyoming, and is immediately offered a job. There's just one problem: the owner thinks Michael is a hitman, and the "job" is murdering the owner's wife (Lara Flynn Boyle). Just when Michael decides to take the money and run, the real hitman (Dennis Hopper) arrives, ready to do the job right. Full of playful twists and sexy turns, 'Red Rock West' is a perfect game of cat-and-mouse that will keep you guessing until the final, shocking shot.

Uneven thriller - Red Rock West review by LC
The cast alone make this an interesting watch for David Lynch fans, and the moody guitar soundtrack only adds to the 'Wild at Heart' feel. Lara Flynn Boyle is predictably wooden, but Cage and Hopper are both entertaining, and the thriller plot starts off with a decent enough hook. Unfortunately the film slightly loses its way in the final third, as the requisite plot twists push it into increasingly ridiculous and corny situations. Ultimately a mediocre thriller, but there's enough going on here to make it reasonably entertaining viewing.

Good fun - Red Rock West review by HM
A twisting plot intrigues and Cage's charisma helps lift it a notch higher than it may have deserved. It certainly kept me wondering what was coming next as we learn more about each character. A decent action/mystery thriller and entertaining if you don't take it too seriously. Good fun all round.
