Viewing Notes
Gavin’s pick because he wanted to see Roger Deaken’s DP work on this. Such a great, brooding, melancholy story with brilliant acting and gorgeous cinematography.
This time around I recognized Pat Healy, who has a great, if minor, role. Also the underappreciated Garret Dillahunt, Michael Parks and Ted Levine. This cast is outstanding and a little bit like BLACK HAWK DOWN in that sense.
