Review of Dolan's Cadillac (2009) by Isaac K — 11 Apr 2011
"Dolan's Cadillac" Is based on a short story by Stephen King, which draws heavy influence from Edgar Allen Poe's "The Cask Of Amontillado". The story's main focus is in the arc of descent of The protaganist, Robinson.
Robinson's wife is murdered, as she was about to testify against one James Dolan. Robinson gets dragged down by his quest for revenge. WARNING **SPOILERS** . Robinson eventually comes up with a genius plan to get revenge on Dolan.
You see, every month, on the first sunday of the month, Dolanb drives in his Cadillac from Las Vegas to LA. And Robison knows this. So Robinson gets a job working on a road crew. Pretty soon, there's gonna be a 3 day weekend, the roadworkers all have off.
So Robinson gets to work.... Dolan on his way to LA drives right into a huge hole (Which was covered by a painting of the road) and he is trapped in his Cadillac. Robinson continues to bury Dolan alive, and as he slides the last fragment of the road back into place Dolan echoes the last lines of Poes "The Cask Of Amanillado" "For The Love Of God!" Robinson has his revenge.
