In “Night Moves,” as in all of Reichardt’s films, it is not just the incident that matters but its build-up and follow-through. A key one in the final act is shot with close-ups of eyes and feet. What will be the downfall of this trio? Will it be the aforementioned fertilizer scene? Will it be one of the people that they seem to always inadvertently run into as their plan materializes? Will one of the three leads destroy their plan or betray the other two? As one might expect who knows Reichardt’s films, the director avoids easy thriller clichés or even answers. Reichardt builds tension through the cumulative impact of seemingly minor moments. In between, we have the lovely Dena, closer to Harmon in her willingness to work with what she’s given, such as in a masterfully tense scene involving the purchase of fertilizer, but clearly drawn to the brooding, purposeful Josh. Josh is the one who needs every detail to fall into place Harmon is the one who rolls with the punches. As is the fact that Harmon knows the guy from his time behind bars, which he failed to disclose. Harry travels to Florida to find her, but he begins to see a connection between the runaway girl, the world of Hollywood stuntmen. Sure, the waiter who recognizes him during part of their journey could be a problem. Private detective and former football player Harry Moseby gets hired on to what seems a standard missing person case, as a former Hollywood actress whose only major roles came thanks to being married to a studio mogul wants Moseby to find and return her daughter. Harmon, as perfectly captured by Sarsgaard in what ends up being a disappointingly small role, is more able to adapt to the situation. Eisenberg and Reichardt sketch him too organically to call him calculated but Josh is definitely the most deliberate of the three terrorists. As played by Eisenberg with more subdued detachment than usual (and perhaps more than the part called for, especially in the final act), Josh is a deliberate, patient terrorist. And that they're going to take action.Īs with all of Reichardt’s films, it’s more about the journey than the destination. These are people who have had enough and feel that protests are no longer getting the attention their issues demand.

Reichardt and her writing partner Jon Raymond don’t weigh their narrative down with political rants or environmental messages. The first half of Reichardt’s delicately timed narrative sees the planning of the event the second details the inevitable fallout. Josh ( Jesse Eisenberg), Dena ( Dakota Fanning), and Harmon ( Peter Sarsgaard) are going to blow up a dam.
