(2013) Tomorrow You're Gone
PSYCHOLOGICAL CRIME DRAMA
I don't know, my interpretation is different than the synopsis on imdb.com: "Charlie Rankin, recently released from prison, seeks vengeance for his jail-house mentor William "The Buddha" Pettigrew. Along the way, he meets the ethereal, yet streetwise, Florence Jane. They embark on a unlikely road trip, careening towards an unlikely redemption and uncertain resolution."
I thought I watched this movie carefully on all the parts that mattered, and to me anyway, the William Dafoe character wasn't addressed any name whatsoever, but according to imdb.com, Dafoe was the Buddha character when he could've been just another man sent by Buddha who was still in prison. Anyways, the tone is similar to another one of those Quentin Tarantino inspiration movies which the characters are not really sympathized until the end. Stephen Dorff plays Charlie Rankin who's just got out of prison. Once let out, he's then handed a key to open up to a locker and then assassinate someone for a specific amount of money- I suspect, it's either Buddha's lawyer or is it the judge that convicted Buddha to the slammer. At the same time, Charlie's getting all of these relapses and paranoid delusions, about what's going to happen to him, for he's very sensitive to noise. The other thing about Charlie is that he can't seem to eat regularly- and acts like he's always on medication even though there's no indication that he's a junkie. Before the hit were to happen, he then bumps with an attractive girl named Florence (Michelle Monaghan) on a bus stop and can't seem to love her back. While Charlie at first doesn't seem to have a soul or a conscience, he is struggling to have one as long as he spends more time with Florence. The acting is exceptional, but it contains nothing new to the genre at all.
