My OCD can rest now that I found it.
I guess 2013 was a big year for kidnapping movies.
I think the older you get and more aware you become, the more difficult these types of movies are to watch.
I couldn't even imagine having to act them out and do the scenes over and over again.
I kept seeing Paul Dano in my mind but couldn't place him.
I found it by going through a long list of kidnapping movies.
Paul Dano is always in these types of movies.
I recently watched him in that new movie The Fablemans.
He plays a simp in that movie instead of some psychotic killer or mentally disturbed person.
I didn't talk about The Fablemans because it's a bit odd.
Seth Rogan was an odd choice and I never liked him or got his comedy.
It's real life and messy but I feel like it's distorted reality.
His mother did some Evil Shit.
When she sends her ex-husband the picture of the happy barbeque at the end, I was sick to my stomach.
You have to have a lot of hate for someone to send them a picture like that.
The movie also bashes Jesus and Christians pretty hard.
I guess he hates them being an Orthodox Jew.
He does have a point that Evangelicals go pretty overboard at times.
I have to admit that. as I grew up in that environment and those Fuckers are Nuts lol.
They got my 6 dollars with the Fablemans because I was bored but I still have held out on Elvis and Bullet Train.
I feel like I am winning, lul.
Thank you Monet. I never watched The Fablemans, Prisoners, or The Frozen Ground. Seth Rogan is disgusting - his Woke Disney/Pizzagate agenda is highly disturbing. John Cusack is now equally disgusting; how he went from normal guy to Mr. Woketard is anyone's guess. Like you wrote, it will be a tall order to find high quality ambiguous mysteries that fell under the radar, since I haven't really focused on this movie-wise. Movies like Cage's excellent 8mm (another glimpse into how the Eyes Wide Shut crowd like to party) have the mysteries clarified and solved and didn't really fall that much under the radar as you know. I love the fact that Rotten Tomatoes bludgeoned this masterpiece. I guess we're way out of wack with respect to the normal audience when it comes to taste. Anyway, by slow increments, I will hopefully discover more of these sorts of movies and I will post them here as I find them. One of the reasons I didn't reco Mindhunters (Val Kilmer) was because it was only an average movie at best as I briefly mentioned in the documentaries section a little while back even though it was an obscure mystery that had some ambiguity and loose ends at the end of the movie IIRC.
