Ok, well I played the John Wick pinball on Monday. It was not a fun game. Even when the rule set gets more developed with later software releases I don't see how they can save this game. The reason is the layout is generic - most of the shots are just larger than the width of the ball. So you will just have to trap up to shoot many of shots rather than shooting them on the run as the shots are much more likely to brick compared to most other recent releases.

As an aside, I highly recommend the Jaws pinball (based on the blockbuster '75 movie) from Stern which was the last Stern release before the John Wick pinball. The theme of Jaws is seamlessly integrated into the rule set and same with the innovate layout.

Thanks for the update!
I'll keep a lookout for Jaws Pinball.

Little Murderers is probably worth the viewing just for the experience.
It's just a very dry black comedy that takes a long time to get to the point.
The first hour and fifteen minutes is a very long setup.
It's a little too much on "psychobabble" for me.
I'm not a big believer in Fraud (Freud) or Therapy.
When I look back it, I guess the best part is how Elliot Gould snaps out of it and is eating dinner with his hands while having a good laugh.
I just wouldn't recommend the movie or rewatch it, but I think it is important in the overall movie making/viewing experience.

Thanks Monet. I found the humor is ultra-dark even in the Dark Comedy genre and am guessing that that is why it didn't gain much traction in the theater. For example, the apathy of the other subway riders as Alfred came on the subway completely bloodied after Patsy was shot and killed. Alan Arkin's speculation at the time for how interactions will be in crowded urban environments. That's why you have all these social media hounds on Twitter, Facebook, etc. - trying to gain attention in an indifferent world, so I guess Alan had it down pretty well and just packaged it in the form of an ultra-dark comedy.
