From NetFlix:

A roadside psychic shares two predictions with overconfident salesman Jimmy Starks, and one of them — that he’ll be hit with a major windfall — seems to be coming true. Now, Jimmy must prepare for the other, more ominous part of the prophecy.

When I think of Guy Pearce I think of extreme tension, psychic stress, and physical torment. Indeed this taut film is no exception. You probably remember him as the tortured lead in “Momento”. He is no less tortured in “First Snow” which joins the long list of forgotten but worthwhile films.

J.K. Simmons plays the fortune teller. His film credentials are ample and recognizable. For only one example, he is Kyra Sedgwick’s boss in “The Closer”. At the very end of the film we see Shea Whigham deliver an impressive cameo as Vincent, Jimmy Starks’ despairing buddy.

What did Mae West say: “So many films, so little time”? (No, wait, that was not quite correct).
