Here’s little capsule thing I posted on the shelf in front of a recent straight-to-DVD movie starring Val Kilmer and Stephen Dorff. It’s called Felon, and I originally watched it expected just a campy testosterone fest like* Street Kings* or Death Sentence. But the actual humanity of the characters and the emotional truth of the story won me over. Rent it please.
Agreed! Turned out to be a great flick. Oh, and Harold Perrineau does a damn fine job in the film.
Rather than start a whole new thread, I’ll just add another movie to this thread.
Has anyone seen
? Oh.
My.

The cover blurb the most perfectly accurate I have ever seen. I have nothing to add: “The sickest movie I have ever seen.”
It’s a cleverly directed–with multiple layers of less than subtle subtexts and parallel ideas–movie about, basically, a serial killer who kills women by feeding them to death. But there’s more to it than that. It’s the closest I’ve ever come to losing it in a movie. And it’s not gore, or violence, all though it feels like the goriest, most violent movie you’ve ever seen. It’s the most bizarre and thorough mix-up of the perennial sex/food/death triumvirate I could possibly imagine ever being made. Just imagine what a masterpiece it could’ve been if it had been directed by, say, David Cronenberg, rather than Brett “Lawnmower Man” Leonard.
