On the surface, Stefan Ruzowitzky’s crime-thriller
“Deadfall” has a huge upside. When brother-sister robbers Addison (Eric Bana)
and Liza (Olivia Wilde) knock over a casino—Liza’s first big score—and make a
clean getaway, things look good. On their way to the Canadian border things
take a turn for the worse and problems arise, for the characters and the film. When
they hit a deer and wander into the wilderness, a harsh Michigan blizzard
forces them to separate and fend for themselves in the bleak, windswept tundra.
