Netflix knows how to rustle up the all star cast lately, and they rarely disappoint. Shimmer lake is one that you skip over on the Que every time isn't it? I have at least 20 times, until I found that Dwight Schrute was one of the stars! How can you not watch something with Rainn Wilson, he is phenomenal. This one has him and a number of equals that keeps this not so unique story alive and fresh. The story is about a crime that is so bizarre, the best way to tell it is in reverse. Well, they probably didn't have to but why the hell not, it worked, and made it super fun. It is categorized as a thriller, but definitely more of a black comedy. A bank robbery goes bad and has some of the usual suspects involved including, the dopey brother, the career criminal, the town judge and bank owner, the sheriff, the poor battered wife, the idiot wife, the gay guy, and the Feds. If that doesn't tell you what you want to hear, that this one is not for you! Great acting, perfect amount of humor and repetition, fun story and the cast is all over the place. Definitely worth the watch and trust me you will want to watch it again.
FYI: Many Stephen King references and hidden "eggs".
