Red Rock West (1993)

A vast Wyoming horizon does not help a penniless drifter once a local mistakes him for a hired killer. The town's bright, matter-of-fact spaces make the murderous proposition seem horribly businesslike. Nicolas Cage's attempts to do the decent thing keep tightening the trap, while Dennis Hopper supplies a less negotiable kind of danger. A lively entry point into rural noir, where a place you could drive through in minutes becomes unexpectedly difficult to leave.
