“A diabolical movie that exists sneakily between a western and a thriller, between a film noir and a black comedy.” –Roger Ebert.
From its first few frames, RED ROCK WEST is iconic, with its opening credits featuring Cage performing one-armed pushups in the middle of a Wyoming highway. A neo-noir from a master of the erotic thriller–John Dahl (THE LAST SEDUCTION, JOY RIDE)– RED ROCK WEST is a southern-fried crime flick. Cage plays an unemployed drifter who, after answering in the affirmative to a stranger asking “…are you here for the job,” is mistaken for the hitman hired to kill a wealthy man’s wife (Lara Flynn Boyle). When the real hitman (Dennis Hopper) shows up, complications ensue. Destined for direct-to-video until a fateful TIFF screening garnered much praise and a 4-star review from Roger Ebert, RED ROCK WEST inspired a small indie-led theatrical campaign leading to its eventual critical reappraisal. Today, it is essential, Cage!
