First Snow

First Snow stars(as much as is possible for him) Guy Pearce. It is the writing/directing debut from one of the several co-writers of Children of Men (which is strange when you think about it since the film is based on a novel...how many people does it take to adapt a novel). That sounds promising, right? Children of Men + Guy Pearce +a pretty decent trailer SHOULD equal good. However, it is a deeply flawed film. It is obviously a film on a smaller scale, but it fails on that level too. Maybe worth a netflix, but not worth a cinema ticket.
