Brief synopsis;
A mysterious Hollywood stuntman, mechanic and getaway driver lands himself in trouble when he helps out his neighbour.


Why you need to watch this;
It. Is. Phenomenal. I mean, really. This is one of the only films thats come out in the last five years or so to have a truly profound effect on me. It has shot straight to the very top of my 'favourite movies of all time' list and it is firmly planted there forevermore. Its a truly unique film, with impeccable acting, a beautiful soundtrack and perfect direction. The cinematography is nothing short of totally beautiful. It mixes almost Kubrickian elements with perfectly executed 70's/80's elements. I cannot recommend this highly enough.
