Reedus only appears in the early goings of the movie as thief Russell Welch, and dies when a job goes bad.
Russell’s death would also prove to be a lightening rod for things to come later in this brutal action thriller.
In his portrayal of a dying man, he’s able to perfectly convey the fear of dying while never allowing the emotions of situation steal his focus.
And, with Hollywood mainstays like Casey Affleck, Chiwetele Ejiofor, Woody Harrelson, and Kate Winslet eating up a lot of the movie’s scenes, it’s not surprising to hear that some people forget Norman Reedus was even in the movie.
