Currently available on VOD - "Whitewash" - (2014) - Essentially a character study of a simpleton drunkard who runs over a man with his snow-plow and then decides to haul ass into the Canadian wilderness in an effort to avoid authorities. Ambling pointlessly around the snow-covered countryside for the majority of the film, Thomas Haden-Church strains to carry the material- there’s just not enough here of a compelling or dynamic nature to warrant a watch.
It may have helped matters greatly if we were given a reason to care about the central character... no such luck.
