I quite like films like 'Rust Creek'. Films with no major stars, no special effects and just a (reasonably) grounded story to keep you hooked to the screen. They don't always work, but quite often they're the hidden little gems that no one is talking about. 'Rust Creek' isn't a masterpiece by any means but it is above average for what it is trying to be.
The cast in this movie really impressed me. As I said I didn't recognise a single member of it, and yet there wasn't a weak performance in sight. The villains in particular impressed me. Some truly menacing performances that gave you that uneasy feeling that any good bad-guy performance should.
The film had more of a heart than I expected it too as well. A large part of the film is about the development of a relationship and I thought it was excellently done. The arc they used felt natural and believable. The only flaws I could see with the film were that they could perhaps have shaved 10-15 minutes off the runtime with some tighter editing (however in a way I'm glad they didn't because that gave way for the arc I just mentioned to feel as natural as it did). Also the beginning of the movie was a little abrupt for my liking (again not really helping my case for a shorter runtime). This could have been padded a little more and set a more solid base for the film. At the end of it all though I had a pretty good time with 'Rust Creek' and would recommend people give it a look.
