Teenagers in a dead-end town aren’t exactly a trailblazing topic. Here Casper (Emory Cohen) is the delinquent with lousy parents; Dominic (Callan McAuliffe) is the nice kid with a part-time job working the potato harvest in northern Maine. The illegal activity that will force them to come of age consists of smuggling cheap prescription drugs from nearby Canada.
Directors Aron Gaudet and Gita Pullapilly overload their too-long film with subplots. Yet the actors — including a terrific Aiden Gillen (“Game of Thrones”) as Casper’s no-good father — perform as though unaware that any of this is a cliché. There’s texture even in the age-old “I’m pregnant” scene.
One scene of Gillen’s car being searched at the border is so well-paced and shot that it prompts daydreams of everyone involved going to work on a better plot.
