THE ISOLATE THIEF MOVIE REVIEW
Winter has a way of revealing who people truly are, and this frontier western thriller unfolds at a remote Union outpost in the Oregon Territory after the Civil War, where a young woman named Ada (Mackenzie Foy), struggles to survive the icy wilderness. After an encounter with a mysterious man, she steals a cache of gold from a ruthless gang of outlaws, only to find herself trapped when they descend on the outpost looking for it. With the wilderness closing in and danger at every turn, survival depends not on the fastest gun, but on patience, deception, and the will to outlast everyone else. The film trades nonstop shootouts for simmering tension and psychological cat-and-mouse. T.C., Frank, and (eventually pulled in from the snow) Eoin gather deep in the One Of Us outpost to brave the cold, warm themselves by the fire, and decide whether The Isolate Thief strikes cinematic gold.
DIRECTED BY: John Suits
STARRING: Philip McDermott Young, Sean Bean, Joe Pantoliano, Mackenzie Foy, Odeya Rush, Ty Simpkins, Martin Sensmeier, Jack Kesy, Mark Alan Jaeger, Bryan Martin

Frank Calvillo (Highly Suspect Reviews, Screener Squad, What Ever Happened to Bette & Joan?, Hollywood Royalty)
Born and raised in South Texas, Frank currently lives in Austin and has been in love with movies ever since his father showed him some Three Stooges shorts when he was five years old. Today he loves all kinds of film, regardless of era, country, budget or genre. He believes every film has an audience and is at least one person’s favorite movie. After writing for Sight & Sound and Slackerwood, he now writes for Cinapse where his increasingly random taste in all flavors of cinema (from Rashomon to Mars Attacks!) continues to thrive. His ultimate goal is to write a script for his boyhood crush, Michelle Pfeiffer.
Eoin Daly
Born and raised in Dublin Ireland, Eoin currently lives in London and has been an avid film lover from as far back as they can remember. Eoin enjoys going to the cinema weekly regardless of the film: new, old, or the most random title. They have no preconceived notions when taking in a new film. They tend to look for the good in any film they watch and will always love the art form. They are a major fan of actress-led cinema and will never apologize for this one film bias.
