What you need to know: The Isolate Thief opens Friday. Director John Suits sets the story in a frozen Civil War winter. Mackenzie Foy plays the sole caretaker of a remote Union Army outpost who finds a cache of stolen gold. Sean Bean, Joe Pantoliano, and Odeya Rush show up looking for it.
Why it matters: Foy built her career playing children. She was the young daughter in Interstellar, the young Renesmee in Twilight. This is her first lead as a hard adult. Critics say she handles the shift convincingly.
Who should see it: Fans of survival westerns with a cold edge. The setup is simple and the tension is not.
See this first: True Grit. This has the same bones. Young woman alone, cold, outlaws closing in, no rescue coming.
Group chat take: Sean Bean is in a western and his character probably survives. Probably.
