No such luck with The Gorge. After a taut set-up, Scott Derrickson’s film gets restless and starts larking around that bit too soon, as moody Miles Teller and impish, punky Anya Taylor-Joy get together across the divide — even fitting in a gratuitous dance duet before the gorge disgorges its secrets.

The actors play snipers tasked with guarding a mysterious ravine in this feature also starring Sigourney Weaver and directed by Scott Derrickson.
