One False Move

The movie is about hidden American links — between city and country, cop and criminal, and the black and white subcultures of the rural South.

First-time director Franklin, a former actor, proves himself remarkably adept behind the camera, wringing the plot for every bit of tension...

One of the strengths of the film is the way it draws its interpersonal relationships.

ONE FALSE MOVE is a finely observed character study punctuated by some highly suspenseful, and sometimes grisly, confrontations.
