Who Killed Cooper Dunn?

A solid thriller that does a good job keeping the audience guessing. Usually in these types of movies the viewer has a pretty good idea of the "guilty" party. This film departed from a standard formula and kept you guessing throughout with unpredictable twists and turns, where it could have easily followed the same formula often used in the genre, instead there was a creative effort to make it its own, unique version of a murder mystery.

Aside for the story, I really noticed the effort made to capture the remoteness of the location with lots of beautiful landscapes and moody camera work to perfectly accentuate and maintain the mood of the film.

More holes than swiss cheese going on here, along with the typical fantasy logic and scenerios that are required for all movies and tv, sports, politics etc Lots of absences unexplained and people showing up at the perfect time, that shouldn't be even able to do so. Also how being near and/or witnessing murder is somehow confounded with the witnesses being charged, doesn't work like that in normal honest cases. There has to be some real evidence and logic to the story, that is unless you're talking about gun events, lone gunmen serial killer setups and such, THEN the story can make no sense have obviously planted evidence, fake evidence, tampering, corrupt lawyers, judges, LE, coroners, "experts" and such. Really bad movie and regret watching it, just popped up in the queue really was doing something else and this was in the background so it's not a total time loss. Werid looking dr protag as well, strange chosentribe weirdo. Also they were sure to break the second commandment all the time, offensive use in our faces like so many other movies, gross industry of monsters. The marine had the wrong finger ratio for a biomale as well, more transteincultists. Garbage fire.

Literally one of the worst movies I've ever seen. The over-acting, repetitive plot points, and dramatic music will make you regret ever pressing play. I'm honestly surprised this movie is even on Showtime. It should be on a list of bad student films. Also, there's a 'twist' at the end that tries to be smart but it just adds to the B-level cheesiness of the entire production. I honestly fast forwarded about 10 minute increments at a time just to get through the whininess and whimpering that half of the script contained for these overgrown fratboys on their drunken trip into the woods. Don't do it.

I watched the first thirty minutes and then skipped to the end to see the solution. To anyone who sat through the entire movie, why? The writers apparently have a vocabulary of eighty words. Obscenties run rampant. In an attempt to make it real or gritty? The effect is to induce complete and utter boredom and disgust.

In addition to the awful dialogue and obnoxious, ridiculous characters, the "story" is nonexistent. Consisting of antics reflecting the fantasies of a fifteen-year-old boy; followed by actions which defy reality, logic, and any sort of common sense.

And for the twist at the end, the less said the better. I normally don't give one or two star since I caan usually find something redeemable but not in this one.

This mystery was both thrilling and beautifully captured. No matter how many assumptions audiences may make throughout the story...twists and turns will keep them guessing "Who Killed Cooper Dunn" all the way to the end.

Well told and committed by the cast and crew - lead by multi-hyphenate Nino Aldi. The talent was evident and leaned into all throughout this modestly budgeted indie feature.

As a bonus: Ely, near the Minnesota Boundary Waters, was both a scenic backdrop while simultaneously defining the clear isolation for our unraveling characters.

Would recommend watching with your old lifelong friends!
