The excellence of Red Rock West goes beyond the intricate plotting by brothers John and Rick Dahl. The casting couldn't be better.
A sexy, edgily funny suspense film set in a small Western town, could be a symbol of the plight and the tenacity of independent American film makers. [22 July 1994, p.3F]
Red Rock West is a diabolical movie that exists sneakily between a western and a thriller, between a film noir and a black comedy.
A wry thriller with a keen edge, Red Rock West is a sprightly, likable noirish yarn. Centered on a case of mistaken identity, the internecine plot becomes progressively more complex without losing its sense of fun.
Given the stereotypical elements that director John Dahl and his co-writing brother Rick have used to construct Red Rock West, it's surprising that the result is a neat and prickly little thriller, dressed up in cowboy noir clothing. [07 Jan 1994]
Red Rock West is the tale of a hapless drifter caught in a web of corruption in a remote western town. It offers suspense, wit, genuine surprises, and a trio of top-notch performances.
A rather ho-hum if watchable neo-noir.
