Movie Info & Cast
Synopsis
Based on a true story, this clever, intriguing, and hyperbolic comedy follows the main character - 'the Narrator' (Thomas Sadoski) who is befriended by his young new neighbor 'the Kid' (Jake Robinson), after he joins the local newspaper team. Obsessed with the idea that the Kid may be a sociopath, the Narrator goes to extreme lengths to uncover the truth about him and his wife, a woman he ultimately begins to fancy. Between long walks down the street, a twisted dinner date, and a car drive gone terribly wrong, the Narrator gets closer and closer to the truth about the Kid. But the truth, as he finds, is anything but what he expected.

Movie WhispererMay 25, 2021The kind of film where everyone and anyone has a witty comeback and it gets old after like 20 minutes.

Jessica Walter Movie Tribute #12 And her last film too. Thank God I'm not going through her filmography chronologically, as this would have been such a sad, sorry one to end things on. It's just a pity that this was her final feature-length bow. Though thankfully not…
Dan’s Litter BoxApr 22, 2022This movie is definitely interesting, but it's one of those movies that's gonna be an acquired taste because of its more loquacious style when compared to something a little more 'mainstream', so to speak. Having said that, while I can't say that this is a film you need to…
