Shea Wigham and Michael Shannon are fantastic actors who give committed performances here; Despite two good leading actors, "The Quarry" is a frustratingly sluggish movie that thinks it's more profound than it really is
great performances make violent crime story worth seeing; this slow-paced drama doesn't dig very deep, but the sun-baked, wind-blown setting and the nuanced performances by the two gifted lead actors make it well worth a look
director Scott Teems' film is a slow-burn Western noir built around terrific but understated performances by longtime collaborators Michael Shannon and Shea Whigham
although "The Quarry" feels lackluster in its execution, it's an intriguing story of redemption that's largely carried by a captivating Michael Shannon
a strong cast can't generate much drama in a slow-building tale; sensitive performances only go so far toward generating sparks in the slow-moving film, which never becomes the crime-and-punishment nail-biter it might've been
