Film Review - Laws of Man
January 08, 2025
“Laws of Man” is a low-budget thriller that has an opportunity to reach the dramatic finish line with a relatively simple study of small town corruption exposed to the light of day. In this case, it’s a series of murders happening in a remote area of Utah, putting two U.S. Marshals on the road to figure out what’s going on and apprehend the suspects. Writer/director Phil Blattenberger (“Condor’s Nest,” “Point Man”) maintains straightforward storytelling goals during the first hour of the feature, keeping matters passably interesting as he attempts to deliver complicated character business, mixed with a few moments of violence. “Laws of Man” suddenly loses interest in being approachable in the final act, which transforms an okay pass at games of intimidation into something quite ridiculous, watching Blattenberger bite off more than he can chew when laboring to come up with a knockout climax.
