Keeps you guessing
Indy thrillers are rare but this one nails it and manages to juggle a lot of elements . Starts as a drama about a crumbling marriage , morphs into a thriller about overcoming a tragedy , and then turns into an action/revenge flick. Along the way they manage these transitions well due to excellent casting , good writing , and assured direction that mixes the best elements of so many genres (did I even mention Film Noir).
I caught this at a film festival (We Regret to Inform You) in Austin , Texas . Director ,Doug Bollinger , was on hand . A surprisingly genial man , down to earth, and completely amiable . I met him and we chatted before the film and was surprised (quite pleasantly) that his film turned out to be dark , edgy , and true to life. I had him pegged as a comic drama sort but he can deliver the chills.
New Jersey now has another film maker to add to its own impressive list . I hope he continues to work there as this film makes excellent use of the various locations one has access to in the Garden State .
