Grey and solemn stand for justice in the forests of the Great Northwest
Released in 2015, “Blackway” is a crime drama/thriller starring Anthony Hopkins as a retired logger who comes to the aid of a harassed woman (Julia Stiles) in Pinterville, Oregon, after the yella sheriff refuses to help. Alexander Ludwig plays the young stuttering redneck who tags along while Ray Liotta appears as the titular heavy. Hal Holbrook has a small role.This is a grim backwoods drama/thriller with elements of “The Edge” (1997), “First Blood” (1982), “Cry of the Owl” (2009) and “Walking Tall” (2004). It’s not great like the first two, not even close, but it’s almost on par with “Cry of the Owl” and slightly superior to “Walking Tall.” Yet it never cops an unrealistic tone like “Walking Tall” does with its overblown final act. It’s a low-key slow burn focusing on life in the logging communities in the Great Northwest.
Speaking of which, one of the best thing about “Blackway” is the mysterious forest cinematography. There are also some small gems to mine, if you watch closely, like the fact that “man is born to trouble as surely as sparks fly upward.” Trouble just comes in different packages, as Hopkin’s character laments before the showdown.
“Blackway” is essentially a Western taking place in the modern day, substituting pickup trucks and bikes for horses. The movie’s simple and straight-forward, which turns some people off. But since ‘twist’ films are so commonplace now playing it straight almost comes off fresh. I shouldn’t close without pointing out that Stiles has better womanly curves now that she’s older; and looks great in tight jeans.
The film runs 91 minutes and was shot in British Columbia (Enderby, Vernon, West Kelowna, Lumby, Armstrong & Vancouver). It was directed by Daniel Alfredson from Castle Freeman Jr.’s novel.
GRADE: B-
