This lean character-driven movie has such an acutely observant screenplay that it is easy to empathize with people struggling to make a decent living by hook or crook. Its psychological precision elevates it to something more than a genre piece.

Giving flair to the inevitable and imbuing those stakes with emotional heft are key to this type of patiently nasty, slow-boil noir. That Johnson understands this makes his feature debut a particularly confident and enjoyable one.

This character-driven picture takes its time marinating in quiet conversations and Austin atmosphere, making the sudden jolts of violence all the more shocking when they land.

Writer-director Alex R. Johnson’s feature debut uses Southern Gothic simmer to heat up what is otherwise a typical gun-and-bag-of-money crime tale, though Hébert’s terrifyingly electric performance keeps the heat turned up enough to make the bloody climax feel like relief.

A zig-zagging, free-associational genre item that's mostly concerned with stretching the generally narrow tonal rules of what a thriller can be.

Overwhelmed by bad country-western ballads, Two Step is flawed but it makes you laugh and cringe at the same time, and passes 90 minutes painlessly.

This is the perfect type of movie for me. An indie movie with great story, great performances, and great cinematography. I cannot ask for more. I cannot wait to see what Alex R. Johnson does next.

This is quite a good thriller, if you enjoy stories that build and don't have explosions and car chases every three minutes. The one negative, and it is the reason I give this an 8 rather than a 9, is that the climactic moment is much much MUCH too quick and abrupt. That last climactic scene should have involved a lot more suspense and struggle. It was shocking after such a well paced story to that point. So, if you like thrillers and aren't one of the many who has such ADD they can't stand a movie without 16,000 action scenes and a camera that moves every second, you will like this. But the ending, the very end, will really stun you by its brevity. Dont' blink.
