A Canadian heist lands a fugitive in a remote motel with more than just police on his trail.
STATELINE MOTEL
Trust Nobody ... Not Even Yourself!
Two hardened criminals are in cahoots to rob a jewelry store in Toronto, then separate to elude the authorities. The one carrying the booty stops at a countryside motel where he meets and gets involved with a gorgeous woman.
Proof that Italian crime doesn’t need Rome’s nightlife—just a snowed-in motel and a suitcase of trouble.
Stateline Motel takes the classic heist-gone-wrong and drags it through a moody, snowbound Canadian roadside stop, where Ursula Andress heats up the room and Fabio Testi stews in paranoia. Throw in Eli Wallach for gritty flavor, and you've got a Euro-crime slow-burn that knows how to make isolation feel dangerous.
