Darkly Funny Unique Indie
10 December 2015
So I watched this on Hulu on a complete whim and was genuinely surprised. I had never heard of it or anybody in the cast save for Coolio, who randomly and bizarrely stars in this, but the cast is actually really good. The movie is essentially about a very simple murder plot but it's definitely dark comedy and even then a certain kind of dark comedy that has a very unique and subtle sense of humor - probably not for everyone. There's a lot of voice, implication and banality underneath all of the shamelessly unapologetic dialogue and subject matter. The characters are strangely lovable and quirky even though none are heroes or anybody that I'd want to know. The visuals and editing are remarkably detailed and deliberate in their nature and in the way they contribute to the setting and tone of the movie. The acting is very even and balanced and Coolio is actually very good and funny. The lead is an unknown but carries the movie just fine. Shop boss and long haired slacker characters are hilarious. Again, not for everybody, but if it is for you, you'll know it and likely love it.
