Boasting some impressive, surreal visual flourishes capturing the mood of irrational love, the film centers on Countryman and his attempt to win the heart of Gabi (Evan Rachel Wood), a Romanian woman who happens to be married to a dangerous local gangster (Mads Mikkelsen) with no problem using violence to get what he wants. It's a little bit True Romance meets a Euro-gangster film, but the consensus out of Sundance wasn't too good. There's a reason it failed to generate much in the way of positive buzz despite a cast that also includes Oscar-winner Melissa Leo, Rupert Grint, and Til Schweiger.
Charlie Countryman hits theaters on November 15th.
