Painting
lines on a barely used road way out in the wilderness, two disparate souls –
one middle-aged, quiet, and thoughtful (Paul Rudd), the other (his
brother-in-common-law, played by Emile Hirsch) young, brash, and horny –
alternately bond and come to blows as they eat, sleep, and work together for
five days at a time, in this slowburn character comedy – a remake of Hafsteinn
Gunnar Sigurðsson’s 2011 film, Á annan
veg (Either Way). Skilled
performances, unpredictable plotting, off-the-wall characterisation, and a
scene-stealing cameo from Lance LeGault (his final screen appearance) combine
to entertaining effect.
