Benjamin Walker, star of “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter,” plays a small-town sheriff who intends to give his dirty town a much-needed bath in the newly-released trailer for the offbeat crime thriller “Shimmer Lake.”
Told in reverse chronological order, the Netflix original spins a darkly comic (Fargo-esque) yarn about a town that’s “completely dirty” where the “only clean person” is a straight-arrow sheriff (Walker) who finds himself investigating a strange bank robbery case that appears to involve his brother (played by Rainn Wilson).
Written and directed by “22 Jump Street” and “Freaks of Nature” screenwriter Oren Uziel (it’s his directorial debut), “Shimmer Lake” also stars Stephanie Sigman, Rob Corddry, Wyatt Russell, Ron Livingston, Adam Pally, and John Michael Higgins.
The film is set to premiere on June 9 only on Netflix.
