    A new favorite. One of the best adaptations from legendary crime novelist Donald Westlake and his Parker series. Duvall and Joe Doe Baker are great as Macklin and Cody. Two hardcore stick up men that feel the mob should pay $250 thou for one of thems murdered brother. Great shootouts and gritty violence. The late John Flynn's direction is flawless. The late Karen Black is heartbreaking, that phone call is emotional stuff. Last siege at the crime boss's house is a standout.

    One of the freest movies I've ever seen. And that soundtrack, are you kidding?

    Sinister, dark, brutal, I fucking loved it. Alex Essoe gives a brilliant, punishing, literally, performance. Pat Healy plays another sleaze with Burt Reynolds stache and everything. The girl that played Britanny Murphy on that horrible Lifetime movie is here too. The two directors here directed the shit out of their own Hollywood story. They have vision, style and balls. The score is great also. Reminded me a bit of Mulholland Dr. Thanks Matt for the factoid.

    The most ambitious film the Spierig brothers have done. And their best. They reteam with Ethan Hawke for this trippy, time travel adventure. Forget explaining anything about it. The joy is just to watch it unfold, expertly under the direction of the Spierig brothers. I wonder how they'll top this one. It's gonna be great. By the way, Sarah Snook gives one of the best performances I've seen this year in a brave, complicated and very moving acting job.
