I love movies like this. We have the VERY underrated Colin Hanks playing a normal blue collar guy who wins the Iowa State Lottery. The twist here is that Hanks is a crazy serial killer. He killed the woman who actually won and then uses the winnings to try to win over his lifelong love. He is then investigated by the awesome Jeffrey Tambor. It’s a dark and hell looking comedy and I’m all for that. It’s like if “American Psycho” and “Very Bad Things” were put together. At least that’s a comparison I hope rings true as both of those movies are two of my favorites. I’m sure this movie won’t be for everyone and I’m sure it’ll be hard as hell to get my hands on this one once it makes it to DVD. I’m still excited. I’m excited that people are still making movies like this and it gives me a bit of hope that our softening culture will still find time to smile at the darker things in life. Colin Hanks has a pretty big shadow cast over him, but he’s doing very nicely for himself. I’ve seen him in some really solid roles and he seems to keep building on that. He makes movies I enjoy. I can’t complain at all about that. Then we have the rest of the cast. Ari Graynor looks cute as hell, Tambor is always awesome, and on top of that Ann-Margret? Thank you very much… I’m in! I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a bit excited for this one. Now the hard part… waiting.
