Movie Release: AMERICANA

============ONLY IN THEATERS AUGUST 22===========

Here’s what you need to know about the movie: A gallery of dynamic characters clash over the possession of a rare Native American artifact in this wildly entertaining modern-day western. After the artifact falls onto the black market, a shy waitress with big dreams (Sydney Sweeney) teams up with a lovelorn military veteran (Paul Walter Hauser) to gain possession of it, putting them in the crosshairs of a ruthless criminal (Eric Dane) working on behalf of a Western antiquities dealer (Simon Rex). Bloodshed ensues when others join the battle, including the leader of an indigenous group (Zahn McClarnon) and a desperate woman fleeing her mysterious past (Halsey).

Our take: This looks promising, a talented cast and a plot that harkens back to films like Hell or High Water and 90s darkly comedic crime thrillers. Judging by the trailer, the film seems to nail the tone and the blend of action and comedy with quirky characters.

This another film starring Paul Walter Hauser who is on a hot-streak right now. We interviewed him for The Luckiest Man in America which came out earlier this year. You can check out that interview here.
