Veteran character actors rarely get the chance to shine in a leading film role, especially in the twilight of their careers. Which makes it a special treat to see Tom Skerritt seize the opportunity and run with it in this adaptation of David Guterson’s best-selling 1999 novel East of the Mountains. Playing a terminally ill man intent on ending his life on his own terms, Skerritt delivers the sort of late-career defining performance that serves as an overdue reminder of the terrific work he’s been delivering for nearly six decades.The 88-year-old actor — his deeply lined face exemplifying “craggy,” but still lean and sporting a leonine mane of white hair — plays Ben Givens, a retired cardiac surgeon suffering from terminal cancer.East of the Mountains 2021 Full Movie Download
He’s revealed the condition to no one, not even his loving daughter, Renee (Mira Sorvino), and his intention to not go gentle into that good night is indicated in the film’s opening moments, when he places a shotgun to his head. He doesn’t go through with it just then, but instead decides to take his beloved spaniel, Rex, with him on a camping trip in the mountainous region of eastern Washington where he grew up, presumably to finish the deed.His plans quickly go awry. First, his car breaks down, and he’s forced to accept a ride from a friendly young couple who are puzzled when he insists that they drop them him off in the middle of nowhere. Then, while Ben is enjoying a campfire and a leisurely toke on a forgotten joint he finds in his travel pack (Skerritt’s rueful laugh when he discovers it is priceless), Rex is savagely attacked and nearly killed by a dog owned by a coyote hunter (John Paulsen). Ben is forced to kill the other dog, to which the angry hunter responds by stealing his shotgun.
