With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Best for people who enjoy a knot in their stomach and people who like stories about real, flawed people. One to watch when you can give it your full attention. Liked New Jack City or Layer Cake? This is a good next one.
- The mood
- Tense.
- The pace
- Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 13 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
Two crime "buddies" face off in a desolate urban hideout, as they anxiously await the drug deal of their lives. "La Haine" meets "The Blair Witch Project" with a dash of Tarantino's "Reservoir Dogs." Made in Montreal on a shoestring budget, this ambitious little thriller has a lot more to offer than meets the eye. Deux petits revendeurs trouvent la combine idéale pour rapidement devenir riche. Voler 12 millions de dollars en héroïne au chef de la gang, puis attendre que les choses se calment... cachés dans la planque.
