Review of Shotgun Stories (2007) by Ben L — 05 May 2013
This is one of those rare movies that gripped me at my soul. it can best be described as a modern day greek tragedy. Michael shannon gives a great performence, but when has he not, the guy is simply the best actor not named daniel day lewis.
this is a revenge tale that unfolds with perfection. the dialogue is spot on and as the movie unfolds you cant help but get wrapped up in it. this is a movie about humans and human emotions, there are no hero's here just people doing what they believe is in the best interest of their families, which makes it even more distressing.
just a gripping film with great performences and marks the introduction of jeff nichols as a force in in film. 5/5.
