In the Pawn Broker is a DVD for one dollar... It has two films on it .. An unusually good double bill of Sand Trap and Road Ends... Two B-pictures set in rural America.. Obviously I spent that dollar and enjoyed these back to back.
Road Ends has a fantastic ensemble cast, one of the best in any B-movie I have seen ... Especially Chris Sarandon, Peter Coyote and Mariel Hemingway ... But of course Dennis Hopper swell ... All the bit parts are perfect too .. Its just great casting, acting and directing.
The film looks good, but this is very much performance driven. A tight script.
This is an absolutely tonally perfect film. Thats all I really need to say. Its pitched at exactly the right tone, something most Hollywood films or cinema generally fails to achieve ... But this one does.
Get a legitimate copy of this film .. Mine was two films on one disc and consequently lower bitrate quality.. But that didn't seem to diminish my enjoyment of this film. This is worth having on disc and inserting into your player.. Then handing to someone else physically rather than sending a link.
