    ★★★ Watched 09 Jun, 2013

    An expelled college swimmer spends the summer working for his brother, a journalist for the Miami Times, as they try to piece together a case of potential wrongful conviction on the case of a murdered law enforcement officer.

  • Down Terrace 2009

    ★★★★½ Watched 21 Feb, 2011

    One of the darkest black comedies to come along in quite a while, Ben Wheatly's English mob family story (and first feature) is pitch-perfect and as brutal as it is hilarious.
