I only watched this on pluto tv channel because the
other shows were all repeats.
Gordon joins Trauma films in veracity, integrity, and style.
I.e. Nothing there.
The premise (not pitched in an elevator, but probably a loud strip bar is far fetched. Ray convinces Sean to kill an accountant (rubber band starts to stretch). Sean does it and has a crush on Susan (the accountant's wife).
After the job, Ray decides not to pay Sean, (more stretching of rubber band).
Ray and his buddies torture Sean in the desert house by hitting him several times in the head with golf clubs. (rubber band reaching limit). Sean never leaves town to avoid the beating...( rubber band ready to snap).
He turns into a vegetable on skid row and is befriended by Susan, the wife of the accountant. (stretching even more).
She takes him in because his apt. Has been trashed.
"you can't live here she says".. and invites him home to stay with her. (SNAP goes the rubber band).
Soon, predictably, she sleeps with him and then he accidentally kills her in a fight. DOUBLE SNAP.
Then he cons Ray to join him in the desert house to give him the papers he has. Sean clumsily disposes of the 3 thugs in a boring sequence.
If you want revenge films, try U Turn, Revenge, Malone, Death Wish, and hundreds of others.
BUT, we need films by Trauma and Gordon, really, otherwise we could easily overlook real talent and skill and take master craftsman and genius for granted. Don't confuse 'refusing to break into the mainstream", with lack of talent, skill, talent, craftsmanship, and insight.
With heavy editing, and better production values, this might have made an interesting 30 min (tops) episode on Night Gallery.
