Director: Jeffrey Reiner
A washed-up private eye and the woman he's supposed to be tailing end up on the same side of a bad idea in Lake George, a 2024 crime thriller from director Jeffrey Reiner.
What is Lake George about?
Don Logan is a private investigator who has clearly seen better decades, and his newest assignment only confirms it: keep an eye on Phyllis, a woman connected to people he'd rather not cross. Instead of staying at a professional distance, the two drift into an uneasy alliance, and a job that should have stayed simple curdles into something far riskier. What follows is a loose, occasionally darkly funny road movie built around two people trying to outrun their own bad choices, with the title's lake serving as a quiet, recurring backdrop to the mess they're making of things.
Cast & crew
Carrie Coon plays Phyllis with a mix of exhaustion and sharp wit that keeps the character from ever feeling like a plot device, while Shea Whigham brings his familiar hangdog unease to Don. Glenn Fleshler, Max Casella, and Derek Phillips round out a supporting cast of small-time operators and unlucky bystanders who give the film its texture of low-stakes danger.
Context & significance
Released in 2024 and running just under two hours, Lake George sits in the lineage of American crime comedies where the criminal plot matters less than the two mismatched people stuck inside it. It carries an IMDb rating around 6.2, reflecting a film that leans more on character rhythm than on twists.
Where & how to watch
Lake George streams on K-Time with Persian dubbing and Persian subtitles available, so viewers can follow Don and Phyllis's misadventures in Farsi from start to finish. A free K-Time account is all that's needed to watch; the platform's Farsi-first interface makes it easy for the Iranian diaspora to browse and pick up right where they left off.
