[vc_section][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]This is not the Mrs. Maisel you know and love, but a sympathetic character, none the less. Brosnahan\u2019s face is constantly contorted in fear or pain throughout the film. Julia Hart directs the screenplay written with husband Jordan Horowitz. Hart knows how to create suspense with unsavory characters in this gritty 70\u2019s film noir shot in color in Pennsylvania. It\u2019s slow and dramatic, not containing a whole lot of dialogue nor explanation, with lots of twists and a high body count. But there are also times when you anticipate what\u2019s coming.<\/p>\n

Rachel Brosnahan puts in a more than credible performance as the terrified wife forced to go on the lam with a baby. She has to grow up fast after her shady husband has crossed the wrong target. Brosnahan plays Jean, a scared rabbit who has never been on her own. She\u2019s rousted in the middle of the night having to to trust stranger, Cal, (Arinz\u00e9 Kene), an associate of her husband Eddie (Bill Heck), for protection. Even more complicated is that this baby was Eddie\u2019s last gift. It\u2019s not theirs. Eddie brought this child home, we find out, to make up for the ones they lost, knowing how badly his frustrated housewife wanted to be a mother.\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”9844″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css_animation=”fadeInUp”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”9842″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css_animation=”fadeInUp”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”9845″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css_animation=”fadeInUp”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]Cal seems to know exactly what to do, even where Eddie stashes his money. He knows a lot more than Jean does. He fills a bag and off they go, no clothes, diapers, nothing. It\u2019s fits and starts as Director Hart slowly lets bits of information about what a badass Eddie really is, the danger Jean is in, and Cal\u2019s real identity. It\u2019s all about their connections, business and family-wise. There\u2019s a certain amount of suspense and curiosity without that much going on until later in the film.\u00a0 <\/span>They just keep running.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Brosnahan has no idea what to do with herself, let alone with the baby that Eddie just dropped in her lap. She wasn\u2019t even aware of Eddie\u2019s activities , living in a bubble in her pretty home more focused on clothes and makeup. He wouldn\u2019t even let her drive.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Cal doesn\u2019t tell too much either. He\u2019s just doing his job, especially when\u00a0 <\/span>Eddie\u2019s enemies get too close. The chase scenes get more tense. Jean starts getting wise to her situation. Cal takes her to a cabin where his family helps educate Jean, too. Including escape tricks and how to handle a weapon. Hart makes Cal\u2019s wife Teri,\u00a0(Marsha Stephanie Blake) is\u00a0<\/span>the strong ally Jean needs to get through this and the action heats up as they work together. It culminates in action scenes that are surprisingly and emotionally well staged.\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”9846″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css_animation=”fadeInUp”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”9849″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css_animation=”fadeInUp”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”9843″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css_animation=”fadeInUp”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]Hart does a good job setting Jean\u2019s journey becoming aware and more involved in her own survival. It doesn\u2019t seem from the story that she had much of an attachment to her husband. She finds out more about being a family from Cal and Teri\u2019s relationship and with Cal\u2019s family, including their son. They become her family.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Brosnahan takes on the challenge of acting with having to carry a baby around as an emotional prop in this 70\u2019s crime story. You get to see evidence of her dramatic versatility in this role. This added another layer to what Hart had to deal with along with the disturbing twists and turns in this tale of survival.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
