★★★★ out of ★★★★★
The latest offering from the collaborative team of Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead once again delivers a philosophical, slow burn of a movie. This film about two paramedics in New Orleans uncovering the truth of a new synthetic drug that has time travel properties is grim and heady material. Brooding and moody can be a good thing if anchored properly, and Anthony Mackie holds this film down with a fine acting performance.
★★1/2 out of ★★★★★ A super stylish and exceptionally well-scored film that’s partially in Danish and partially in English and…wait for it…features a character who’s half Danish and half American.
David Dastmalchian is one of Hollywood’s good guys, and he is on the cusp of something very big, playing Polka Dot Man in the deliriously entertaining (with gore worthy of a horror movie) DC Comics movie The Suicide Squad. If you want to get to know our friend a little better, take a listen to our Episode 101, Drug-Induced Horror, where David shares some wonderfully personal tales of recovery and redemption. Congratulations David, on the big hit film!
