Shimmer Lake

Shimmer Lake is a 2017 American neo-noir crime film written and directed by Oren Uziel, in his directorial debut.

The film stars Benjamin Walker, Wyatt Russell, Rainn Wilson, Adam Pally, Mark Rendall, John Michael Higgins, Ron Livingston, Stephanie Sigman, and Rob Corddry.

Zeke, revealed to have been shot during a bank robbery in which Andy participated, picks up his partner, Reed Ethington, and meets with FBI agents Kyle Walker and Kurt Biltmore.

He loads the bank's money in her car, but before he can get in, he is shot and killed by an unseen assailant, whose arm is bearing a tattoo: "State Champs".

On Thursday, Zeke and the other cops investigate meth addict Chris Morrow, who is believed to have been the getaway driver.

When Zeke, Reed, and the FBI agents arrive at her house, she tells them that Ed assaulted her when she refused to leave with him.

Wednesday, the day after the heist, Chris and Andy attempt to figure out what to do after Ed has seemingly double crossed them by taking the money for himself.

Leaving Chris with instructions to stay hidden, Andy goes back into town to check on his brother, who he hears on the news has been shot by Ed.

Andy, Chris, and Ed (whose "State Champs" tattoo is revealed) plan the robbery on Tuesday despite Steph's attempts to talk them out of it.

"[7] Randall Colburn of Consequence of Sound wrote that the film's gimmick, being told in reverse, is not essential to the plot but enhances what he called "an otherwise-rote piece of pulp storytelling".
