“He's clean. He's mean. He's the go-between.”
ActionCrimeThriller
A dabbler-in-crime and his assistant hire an ex-police reporter to recover some stolen papers.
VIBE
A sun-drenched, yet deeply cynical crime thriller. It feels like a dusty, forgotten gem from the 70s, full of double-crosses and sudden bursts of brutal violence. Perfect for a gritty, late-night watch.
