#the weird revenge story with linda haynes

[mourningmaybells]

like a low level crime boss failing to have control over a situation and waiting for someone to kill him is an ok premise but the nickel ride lacks so much tension you forget what's happening also it does have the skyler white type character (wife of the criminal, you know how it is) but where skyler is a subversion of what used to be bland morality pets, linda haynes just feels like the typical girlfriend in the gangster films of yesteryear (i dont know if it was already overdone at that point, but it certainly helps it age worse). i do like the weird cowboy though. i feel like they put a bunch of passionate actors and a few eccentric people in a room and hoped they would carry the script. they did not.
