Watching Pair Dry!

To squeeze out 600 words to give a review on this slow moving movie will be a stretch. Only viewers under the age of 50 will be able to stay awake for this Quinten Tarantino want a be.The actors as well as the directing is very well done. The cinematographer placed the right scenery at the right time, while the musical score was a piece of perfection. However, every scene is so dang slow it's hard to focus on the plot. Of which, is pretty predictable to anyone that is a fan of old detective movies with Sam Spade on TCM.I, and this is no joke, fell asleep twice while waiting on the main character to die off. This guy had super survival skills. Shot point blank in the chest, beaten and shot in the back with a twelve gauge shotgun. Just too slow for this old Army Veteran.

Unique CinematicThrowback

You can tell the director studies older films. Not in a bad way either... The cinematography is gorgeous, and there are scenes that feel like this movie is from another era. Hollywood doesn't make movies that feel like this anymore. Kind of reminded me of Road to Perdition but but done with the flavor of There Will Be Blood, or Assassination of Jesse James... but also with some Sergio Leone in there too. Hard to describe, but really impressive how it pulls you in. Even without big action scenes. I assume this had a small budget? The acting and music are really good too. I've never heard of any of the cast before, or the director for that matter, but this is a hidden gem! I found this on streaming, but wish I could have seen it in a theater because the cinematography was out of this world! The story twists and turns at times but its definitely worth multiple watches. Once you figure it out its actually quite emotional. Very surprising, and super unique. Feels like we'll look back on this one when the director makes bigger movies.
