First Snow is a slow, moody, slightly tedious and bland film which brings nothing new to the genre. It does deliver some good acting performances.
Jimmy Starks (Guy Pearce) is a sleazy but slick salesman who in the past has avoided jail time for money laundering. His old friend Vincent (Shea Whigham) was not so lucky and did end up in jail.
When his car breaks down in a small town in New Mexico, slightly bored Jimmy visits a fortune teller operating from a RV. The seer Vacaro (JK Simmons) tells him something shocking that Jimmy has a stark future which will end once the first snows of winter falls.
Jimmy has to learn to accept his fate but there are many incidents that could spell his end, yet we always think that Jimmy has brought it upon himself.
