Stop with me if you've heard this before. Drifter or illegally on a dangerous journey with a young partner who is either his literal or spiritual son/daughter. It is a common formula that is not tied to any specific genre. You can see it in gangster films ("Road to Death"), The western ("Real Grit"), Science fiction (from "Prospect" to "The Last of Us", Pedro Pascal has its market), stories of superhero ("Logan") and more.

The best version of it is not action for action, but a black comedy on the road: Peter Bogdanovic's "paper moon" for artist Mose and his maybe daughter Adi (Ryan and Tatum O'Neal) moving through the great Depression of Kansas. The inheritance of the "paper moon" lives to this day. Inspired recent stories including A key episode of "Andor", And the new non -hazardous crime thriller, "she drives a rifle".

Based on A novel on the Jordanordan Harper site, which is "driving a rifle" He starts with Nate McCloski (Taron Egerton), a career criminal and a recent former. For the killing of a member of the "Aryan Brotherhood" gang, he received a "green light" (meaning he would kill him). The order applies not only to Nate himself, but to his whole family. He is too late to save his ex -wife and her husband to be killed, so he grabs his daughter Polly (Anna Sofia Hagger) and rides like hell. Nate's past and actions can start the story, but his heart is poly; She is caught in the storm of the consequences that is attracted to her father - the same storm she is trying to protect her.

I read two Harper's books: source material in this picture and "Everyone knows", Thriller placed in the abbreviated world of Hollywood eg. I have yet to collect his last novel "The Last King of California" or His collection of stories "Loveubov and other wounds", But looking at "that rifle" reminded me why I should get them from the reading list. If Hollywood's green light on Jordandan Harper's films goes on after this, I hope his other books will be adapted with the same bear and the heat that "she drives a rifle".

Spoilers For "that rifle" follow.

The characters and themes of "that rifle" will not win prizes for originality, but this film shows that execution is crucial. There is a reason that writers continue to tell stories like this: they offer an easy heart on the "fugitive man" narrative, and stakes are higher if the lead has a child to protect.

Harper was going on in connection with the "paper moon" that affects "that rifle" - He called his book "Paper Moon" by counting the body. "I would argue that there is a key difference in the relationship of central father and daughter. Moses No You want Adi when they first start their search; He even denies his daughter despite everyone seeing the similarity. Although "that drives a rifle" is much more violent than the "paper moon", Nate/Polly's relationship is more beloved and supportive. Nate was not there for Polly, but he wants to protect her. At first, he thinks that it means teaching her to herself in his knees with baseball bat (normal dad/daughter works!), But as their pursuers catch, he realizes that he should protect her from violence. Polly is sometimes a little too eager to look at his back during fights and Nate refuses to allow her to carry the sins she makes. Another movie Harper lists him as an impact is David Cronenberg's "History of Violence", Which is also for the violent past of the parent that is attracted and even infects their children.

Egerton, who broke out as a teenage super-spy Egisi in "Kingsman: The Secret Service", older in a convincing fastened condom (see also: Dennis Lehan's prison drama's role in the Black Bird series). Nate in the book "That Rides a Rifle" has a frame "so big and sharply drawn, was how to lack the skin, as tattoos were inserted into the muscle." Egerton makes justice to that description, but his bodybuilder and shaved head can conceal their natural boy so well. Nate's appearance tells the story of a young man in a rough environment, who had to grow up quickly, just like Poli, now has to be.

As for Hagger, it is complete natural. Polly is too wounded to be precise, but she is good at thinking. It's not just how she's written, it's like Hagger wearing the screen. For her performance in "Paper Moon", Tatum O'Neal was the youngest person to win an Oscar. The stifled marketing and the genre of "that rifle" means that Hagger is unlikely to get a golden statue, but I'm so excited that I saw her next job as critics, then had to be for Tatum O'Neal's next film.

He has a small accompanying role in "that rifle", including Rob Young as Johnon Park (Vanabe's hero detective, who thinks Nate is the Trojan horse he needs to take off the local neo-Nazi) and surprise Johnon Carol Lynch as a local meta. The third act of the film begins in an explosive action sequence with many players on the board, but in the first hour they are Nate and Polly together, always running. Director Nick Rowland only knows how to shoot the two to emphasize their unpleasant Loveubeub; Notice how they look aside from each other, like when Nate is driving out and eagerly forward, but we can see that poly chasing after him through the mirror.

Harper co-wrote the script for "that rifle" with Ben Collins and Luke Potrovski, but the film makes a lot of changes. (As for what you preferred, Harper said, "You ask who is more comfortable; this child that I have a relationship or my first son.") A key difference is happening from the beginning. The book (which has an alternating POV structure) has an early chapter of Nate that finds the body of the mother of Polly. The film smartly retains the focus on the poly, leaving the atmosphere and the feeling of danger to build around it, putting the pieces together.

The film continues to descend on different paths as it continues, most to simplify the narrative. Finishing the film is especially beautiful than the book, but thanks to Hagger, it is still haunting. The film is wrapped in a large part of the poly, trying to keep a strong face and interfere with other children, but still does not achieve it. She rode a rifle with her father and left her mark.

"That drives a rifle" is played in theaters.
