Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

First Snow is a slow, moody, slightly tedious and bland film which brings nothing new to the genre. It does deliver some good acting performances.Jimmy Starks (Guy Pearce) is a sleazy but slick salesman who in the past has avoided jail time for money laundering. His old friend Vincent (Shea Whigham) was not so lucky and did end up in jail.When his car breaks down in a small town in New Mexico, slightly bored Jimmy visits a fortune teller operating from a RV. The seer Vacaro (JK Simmons) tells him something shocking that Jimmy has a stark future which will end once the first snows of winter falls.Jimmy has to learn to accept his fate but there are many incidents that could spell his end, yet we always think that Jimmy has brought it upon himself.

never heard of Guy Pearce before I think he did a remarkable job given for someone I never heard of.. this movie has a very interesting premise. you go to a fortune teller to get you're future told to you, and then you get hit with the hammer over the head, you're only gonna be safe up until a certain time, then all bets are off. what would you do , and how would you go about trying to alter the course of what god has in store for you, this is what attracted me to the movie once I understood what was going on. I liked all of the plot twists and the scenery in the picture was also very nice. our main character tries to do several things to try an alter the almost certain outcome, and it's sorta like a psychological thriller in his journey to overcome what has been presented to him by the fortune teller. pretty darn good movie I will watch again soon.

This movie did run in the same vein as Memento and The Machinist; the whole feel of the movie was very surreal and you wondered what the outcome would be. I didn't feel quite as much tension as I would have liked, but it still kept me wondering how things would turn out. It portrays how your past can always catch up to you. Guy Pearce did an excellent job.I also have a question about the music in the movie. I have done a search of all the music in the credits, but cannot figure out which song is playing in the background during the bathtub scene. Can anyone tell me what it is?

Is it destiny or did you make it happen? Are you going to die regardless of what you do to avoid it, or do you make decisions that result in your death? This neo noir with Guy Pearce (Momento, The Proposition, L.A. Confidential) was well written and exciting from start to finish.Pearce made a perfect sleazy salesman and Piper Perabo (Coyote Ugly) has shown she can do a good dramatic role. I thought she was really good.The story keeps you guessing until the very end. Did things happen because they were destined to happen, or did he choose to be in that place in that time.
