A Netflix reviewer suggested that this film improves somewhat after the first 20 minutes of watching a middle-aged woman cleaning her house. I didn't make it that far, so I can't comment.What I can say is that if you're going to make a film that begins with 20 minutes of house-cleaning, you could at least get the actress to fold the blankets neatly! I believe I actually developed a bad case of OCD while watching this movie. Either that, or it was just so dull that my mind began to obsess over irrelevant details in the set dressing.It's a rare film that makes me give up so soon, but this one managed to be both boring and depressing before anything had even happened (other than an unevenly folded blanket), so I didn't get to see if she restocked the fridge or merely emptied it.

Tim Roth was the only good thing about this film, to be completely honest. (I loved the scene when she hit him in the chest with a rifle and super cool as he is he just exclaims ''Really?'') And he was only in it for like two seconds.The film was anticlimactic as f**k and boring. I don't think i would've watched it to the end if it was longer.Maybe there was a message or something in the film, but i don't really care. Like i said, it was boring.

In October Gale, the winds whip up into gale force when Scott Speedman arrives at the doorstep of widow Patricia Clarkson's home with a bullet in him. Just his luck she's a physician like her late husband. Scott has a real problem going for him. He served some time in Canadian prison for killing a man and he's out now. But the father of the guy he killed, Tim Roth doesn't think that was enough. He's on the hunt now for Speedman.Do I have to say more, Clarkson gets an itch revived in her and maybe Speedman's the one to scratch. In any event she's drawn into his personal war with Roth.The climax is staged very well, Roth gives an outstanding performance of a truly demented man.Nicely acted and photographed Canadian production.

I was wondering why this movie with a such a good cast like Patricia Clarkson, Scott Speedman and Tim Roth managed to have a mere 5.1/10 (current rating when writing this review)But when I started watching it, it started to make senseIn the first half hardly nothing of substance happens and there are plenty of everyday scenes of Patricia Clarkson reading a book or remembering a romantic moment with her husband or fixing with the wood- pile for the fireplace and stuff like that with very little dialogue as she's by herself in the beginningTim Roth doesn't show up until the last 20 minutes, he's supposed to be menacing but comes off as boredThe plot itself also doesn't make a lot of sense to me, it's extremely simple really but the characters relations to one each other are daftly written, and it's boring, extremely slow and could have easily been cut down 30 minutes and you wouldn't have missed anything
