Deadfall, previously titled Kin and Blackbird, is a 2012 crime drama film starring Eric Bana, Olivia Wilde, and Charlie Hunnam. Siblings Addison (Eric Bana) and Liza (Olivia Wilde) are on the run from a casino heist gone wrong. When a car accident leaves their wheel man and a state trooper dead, they split up and make a run for the Canadian border in the worst of circumstances–a near whiteout blizzard. While Addison heads cross-country, creating mayhem in his wake, Liza is picked up by ex-boxer Jay (Charlie Hunnam), en-route for a Thanksgiving homecoming with his parents, June (Sissy Spacek) and retired sheriff Chet (Kris Kristofferson). It's there the siblings are reunited in a terse and thrilling showdown that pushes the bonds of family to the limit. Deadfall is a compelling and taut thriller from the director of the Academy Award winning The Counterfeiters, and features Eric Bana in his most intense role since Chopper. Deadfall Review “A highly satisfying Western-cum-noir in the old tradition, “Deadfall” is alive in ways that are all too rare among American movies. Director Stefan Ruzowitzky seems to be channeling a smidgen of noir giant Raoul Walsh (“High Sierra”) while following the desperate attempts of a brother-sister pair (Eric Bana, Olivia Wilde) to reach Canada with casino-pilfered banknote booty in tow. Vivid action in snow-covered climes, sharp widescreen cinematography and a stellar cast — including Sissy Spacek, Treat Williams, Kris Kristofferson and Kate Mara as a “Fargo”-esque female sheriff — combine to make the pic a vibrant commercial and critical property for Magnolia.” Variety
