Ever since his brief run on “Game Of Thrones” ended, Jason Momoa has tried his hand a few different things, ranging from failed tentpoles (“Conan The Barbarian“) to short lived TV shows (“The Red Road“) to grimy genre efforts (“Bullet To The Head“) to weirdo arthouse flicks (“The Bad Batch“). His next big stints will be as Aquaman in “Justice League” next year and in his own standalone effort in 2018, but until then, Momoa is crossing “indie thriller” off this list.

“Sugar Mountain” finds the actor working alongside Drew Roy, Haley Webb, Shane Coffey, and Cary Elwes in the thriller about a criminal plan that starts to unravel in dangerous ways. Here’s the official synopsis:
Deep in debt to a local thug (Jason Momoa), Miles persuades his girlfriend Lauren and brother Liam to help fake a disappearance in the Alaskan wilderness. While the town works together to find Miles, the local sheriff (Cary Elwes) begins to suspect foul play. As he closes in on the truth, Liam struggles to conceal the hoax, and in the process exposes a secret that rocks him and Lauren to the core. Now the two are struggling to stay one step ahead of a sadistic thug and the tenacious cops before Miles is gone for good.
“Sugar Mountain” opens on December 9th.
