The Frontier is a blast from the past as far as suspenseful thrillers go, but it's not an entirely invigorating one.

Well-paced, nicely shot, and smart enough to give each member of the ensemble a few moments to shine.

There's definitely something refreshing about seeing a full-blown retro crime thriller, but Oren Shai's feature directorial debut is reduced to a mere novelty because there's so little access to the main characters.

Director Oren Shai steadily builds a timeless pulp world, one that purloins from 30s seedy gangsters, 50s greasers, and 70s slick crime.

An appreciably moody but dramatically stilted crime drama that exudes a certain retro appeal before collapsing into a series of empty neo-noir poses.
