One False Move

After a bungled drug deal leaves bodies behind, three criminals—Fantasia, Ray Malcolm and Pluto—flee Los Angeles and hole up in a seemingly sleepy Arkansas town. Two determined LAPD detectives track the trail and alert local sheriff Dale Dixon, setting the stage for a tense clash between hardened fugitives and a community that refuses to be intimidated.

The film unfolds as a lean, character-driven thriller that resists easy answers: the criminals’ brutal desperation collides with Dixon’s stubborn decency and complicated past, leading to a slow-burning, explosive reckoning. With taut direction, gritty performances and a keen eye for atmosphere, the story probes loyalty, violence and the high cost of trying to do right in a world that has been anything but.
