An Engrossing Picture


Fortunately i managed a pretty succinct schedule to watch some underrated and out of the spotlight movies in the last 2 weeks.Special thanks to my friend Amir who earnestly suggests and shares the most matched .
Here is a brief note on one of the most thrilling experiences i had in recent months.
Red,White and Blue 2010
Written and directed by Simon Rumley
First of all i had not heard about Simon Rumley ; that zero expectance made the apporoach more fascinating :)
Movie info according to Rottentomatoes:
"Red, White and Blue is a powerful, visceral and oddly touching thriller/slash movie. It's also very sophisticated storytelling with temporal shifts and three protagonist characters who function as both the killer and the prey.Erica  is a tough, troubled nymphomaniac with wounds across her soul. For Erica, sleeping with multiple men forms the core of her life, until she meets the mysterious Iraq vet Nate .Despite his quiet air of danger, Nate's the only guy who doesn't immediately want to sleep with her, and the two form a hesitant bond. But in a shocking twist, one of Erica's earlier sexual encounters, with wannabe rock star Franki , will have unexpected - and devastating - consequences on both of their lives. Hard-edged and uncompromising, the film has already been compared to the works of such disparate filmmakers as Larry Clark and Sam Peckinpah. "
i believe the movie , a brutal americana is a polished image of violence and its cursed cycle. Three protagonists' unsavory characters are masterfully executed in a 102 min run.
Beware:i have to agree with David Lewis of San Francisco Chronicle: the movie is certainly going to leave some squeamish !
