Review of Fierce People (2006) by Tom C — 02 Sep 2018

This is a perfect example of the kind of oddball movie that I would have never watched if it hadn't randomly popped up on Stars one boring Sunday afternoon. Within 15 minutes I was hooked and thoroughly entertained.

To be fair and objective, this is a misshapen near-trainwreck of an indie film, but it's got just enough charm and quality acting to be enjoyable in a "WTF am I watching again? When did this come out? Is that Chris Evans?" sort of way.

With movies like this one (and I wish I could think of other examples, all I can think of is Clockwatchers with Toni Collette and Parker Posey) alot of the pleasure comes from the surprise of stumbling across a movie you've never heard anything about, starring a slew of names, at a moment in time when your brain is very receptive to being passively entertained.
