Slumlord is one of those movies that gets in your brain and won't let go. It tells the story of Scott Roberts, a gambler down on his luck, pursued by his bookie, Gary. Scott is forced to run and gets a job managing an apartment complex for a mysterious figure, Kalis Muhn. Scott is the typical wise-guy, with the heart of coal. He bounces perfectly off the hard-nosed Kalis Muhn.

Gwen is Scott's wife and she's not a typical housewife. She's all firecracker, doesn't take sass from anyone or anything.

Clearly, Mr. Sullivan and Mr. Monroe (the writers) have graduated from the School of Tarantino when it comes to their edgy, hard-boiled style of writing.

The only really bad thing about Slumlord was that it had to end. That's the one big problem here. The end left me unfulfilled, but at the same time, I guess that's a good thing. Always leave 'em wanting more, right? I'm hoping that this isn't the last time we see Scott Roberts and Kalis Muhn on the screen. Or Gwen, of course.
