Synopsis
Red Rock West (1993) is an American neo-noir thriller directed by John Dahl — watch it online on iFILM. Nicolas Cage plays Michael, a broke ex-Marine who pulls into a Wyoming roadhouse looking for work and immediately gets mistaken for someone far more dangerous.
The local sheriff, Wayne (J.T. Walsh), hands him five thousand dollars cash and a target: kill his wife. Michael takes the money, warns the wife (Lara Flynn Boyle), and tries to drive away clean. She then offers him double to kill the sheriff instead. He still tries to leave. He cannot. Then the real hitman, Lyle — Dennis Hopper at his most unsettling — rolls into town, and suddenly there are no sides left to pick.
Dahl built this on the bones of classic noir: an empty road, money no one should have touched, and not one trustworthy person for a hundred miles. Low budget, tight craft, and a screenplay that doesn't waste a scene. Stream Red Rock West (1993) on iFILM.
