Blackway (originally Go with Me) is a 2015 American thriller film directed by Daniel Alfredson and written by Joseph Gangemi and Gregory Jacobs, based on the 2008 novel Go with Me by Castle Freeman, Jr.. The film stars Anthony Hopkins, Julia Stiles, Ray Liotta and Alexander Ludwig. Filming began on November 12, 2014 in Enderby, British Columbia.[1]
Plot
A modern fable set against the rugged backdrop of a Pacific Northwest logging community, Blackway tells the story of Lillian (Julia Stiles), a young woman newly returned to her hometown who becomes the subject of harassment by a man named Blackway (Ray Liotta), an ex-cop turned violent crimelord who operates with impunity in this small community on the edge of the wilderness. Forsaken by the local townspeople, and advised by the Sheriff to leave town, Lillian decides instead to take a stand against her sociopathic stalker, and enlists the help of ex-logger Lester (Anthony Hopkins) and his laconic young sidekick Nate (Alexander Ludwig)—the only two men in town brave enough, or crazy enough, to go with her, and go up against Blackway.
