The White Tiger 2021
When I looked at that cash I didn’t feel guilt
I felt rage.Excellent film from Ramon Bahrani whose first film Chop Shop was made in Queens (where I live). Bahrani latest film takes place on the other side of the world in India. He also has a larger budget and makes excellent use of it. This is a gritty film. The Netflix poster is deceptive. While there is some light there is a lot more dark. This is no Slumdog…

Spree 2020
50,000 people watching, I guess I got what I wanted.

Inglorious Basterds has a scene in a projection booth with an incredible track called Un Amico from Ennio Morricone. I used to listen to that track on repeat. I always wondered what film it came from and now I know.
Un Amico is used quite a bit in Revolver but most powerfully in the opening moments. Immediately I was taken with this cynical and at time oddly touching Italian 70's crime drama. Oliver Reed is his usual intense self and Fabio Testi is absolutely gorgeous.*I really appreciate Amazon Prime streaming these 70s genre films not available on Netflix.
