Plot Summary

Interim sheriff Ulysses, called to the snowbound town of Normal, MN, uncovers an international criminal conspiracy at the heart of the seemingly quaint whistle-stop when he comes to the aid of a bank-robbing couple caught up in a deadly mess.

What Works

  • Solid entry in the action, crime, thriller catalog
  • Stunning cinematography and production design that demands a large screen
  • A compelling lead performance that anchors the entire narrative

What Doesn't

  • A few minor subplots feel slightly underdeveloped
  • May feel overly familiar to long-time fans of the genre
