VOL. XLVII

This movie is about Wife Life™ and I'm here for it. It’s about how having a good wife who cooks you bacon and doesn’t make fun of you is the most important thing in the world and is 100% worth going on a killing rampage over, honestly. In all seriousness, though, TRUE RANDOM kind of rocking lately, huh? Because I was genuinely into this one (I don’t think there’s been a total stinker since I rebooted the series?). I liked how they made you sympathetic to the villain, which doesn’t seem like a mode these types of movies from this era usually worked in. Directed by a guy named Budd Boetticher who’s best known for like 50 low-budget westerns from earlier in the decade, this is a lesser-known, late-period crime noir that’s definitely worth a watch at just 73 minutes.
