Review of Mob Land

Mob Land (2023)
10/10
Masterpiece dark thriller in the same vein as No Country For Old Men(2007).
27 August 2023
I enjoyed this one. Actors John Travolta(Face/Off 1997), Stephen Dorff(Blade 1998) and Kevin Dillon(The Blob 1988) are favorites of mine. Also Shiloh Fernandez(Dead Girl 2008) gives a powerful performance.

So all these great actors in combination make this film work. This is a no-nonsense dark and bleak thriller and one that kept me engrossed till the very end.

The plot is about two brothers(Kevin Dillon and Shiloh Fernandez) who rob a local pill mill run by the mob. After the incident the mob send an enforcer(Stephen Dorff) to recover the stolen goods. Added to the mix is the local Sherrif(John Travolta) who has demons of his own.

Verdict: engrossed from start to finish. Nicholas Maggio who made his directorial debut, also wrote the script. From his first effort I see that he is an A-grade director. He will only continue to impress.

More dark thrillers to see: Coma(1978), Jagged Edge(1985), Frantic(1988), The Ambulance(1990), Desperate Measures(1998).
