Evil That Men Do, The (2015)
Tarantino-ish character study shot in a single location with very limited characters. Very dark subject matter as two men go to work all day disposing of bodies for the drug cartel. Some excellent performances and never guessable. Egggggggzelent.
Lemonheads (2020)
I am always fascinated by how a movie maker or an actor takes on addiction to make it “real” to the viewer. This is a damn good one.
Clay Pigeons (1998)
Silencing, The (2020)
He Never Died (2015)
Henry!
Cut Bank (2014)
Scotland, PA (2001)
The master, Christopher Walken, delivers dark, gritty stuff as always. Excellent off-beat tale that could have easily been a Coen Bros flick in another universe.
You Were Never Really Here (2017)
I love that Joaquin Phoenix takes so many of these dark, disturbed roles when he could be a mainstream megastar. This is another haunting one…
Light of My Life (2019)
Casey Affleck and Anna Pniowsky make surviving in a post-apocalyptic world as real, scary, and heart-felt as it has ever been done. Fuck zombies – people will be the monsters when it happens.
Gambler, The (1974)
Forget Kenny Rogers. Forget Mark Wahlberg. James Caan is the only degenerate gambler you need to see. Masterful and gritty as sand paper.
Trees Lounge (1996)
Steve Buscemi writes, directs, and stars in this fucking awesome character study of degenerate drunks. (Your mind will also be blown as star after star appear in the flick before they were well known.)
Black Snake Moan (2006)
Sam delivers once again, and Ricci has never been hotter
