Cold killings in a cold climate

Published December 6, 2012 5:00am ET



Everything turns out rather topsy-turvy in “Deadfall.”

Addison (Eric Bana) and Liza (Olivia Wilde) look to be on their way to some sort of rendezvous when their driver, unsuccessfully navigating a blizzard, crashes their car. As a flurry of money sails through the air, it’s clear they’ve done no good. But when Addison approaches the police officer with an earnest “Sir, I hope you can forgive me,” and then shoots him, it’s also clear Addison is no angel — though he’ll be mistaken for one. To his credit, this killer does seem to relish killing only those who really deserve death.
