Featured reviews
It's a narrative told in a very nonlinear style. The first thing I thought of was Tarantino, but it's very not Tarantino, as it's not heavy on Trivial dialog, it's very to the point and counts on the emotion of these well designed characters.
characters well done that come alive with great actors. Lead by John Hawkes the actors all had amazing chemistry with each other. I was surprised by how many actors I actually knew on this small film. Like Rider Strong from Boy meets World and Robert Forester, to name just two.
It's really worth it to catch it on a screen showing it in 35mm. The camera work and the cinematography add so much to the personality of the film.
Pure enjoyment, highly recommended.
The film has an unique style which does aid in the storytelling and keeps the audience wanting more. Great chemistry between the actors and they really do tie the whole film together with their layered characters.
Enjoyed the texture of the 35mm film. While not the perfect digital imagery which has become commonplace... it's flaws give the gritty story an authenticity which matches it perfectly.
Really enjoyed it... highly recommended.

- Quotes
Samson: Three days ago, I stepped in some gum, and it started me asking questions. So I punched some people in their fat faces. I threatened various kneecaps with blunt objects. On several times I brandished my revolver. I spent the pathetic amount of mattress money I had on bribes and payoffs. I did these things because I wanted information. And I got my information. And I was certain this would all lead me to a body. But the only body I found was the one I started out with. A girl named Dorothy Mahler.
