Episode 200 - Shark Bait, Cop Secret, Nine Bullets, Shut In, Ghosts of the Ozarks, Image of Victory, Fatal Love, Backtrack

in our 200th (!) episode Mike Rich and Steve check out six new releases....

We received the screener for SHARK BAIT the same day we were due to record the episode, but there was no way we were going to miss the opportunity to watch the latest film by director James Nunn, who has consistently delivered excellent DTV thrillers, and this feels like something of a step-change. Check out our review!

Next is COP SECRET, an Icelandic love-letter to the buddy cop genre, with all of the nods to Bay, Bruckheimer, et al that you would want.

NINE BULLETS finds Lena Heady's hard-hearted burlesque singer taking on the local mob boss in order to protect a child's life...

The genre of "person stuck in a single location" has had a lot of traction recently, probably as a consequence of COVID, but SHUT IN takes this to the Nth degree as our protagonist is locked in a pantry and must help her kids keep out of the hands of a child molester!

GHOSTS OF THE OZARKS is next - take a listen to find out what we thought!

Finally we have IMAGE OF VICTORY, a film set shortly after WW2 and is about a kibbutz under seige by the Egyptian army.

 

Our short Shot is FATAL LOVE, which sees a young man's marriage hanging by a thread when he starts getting phone calls from an old flame.

 

The DTV Throwback is BACKTRACK, starring Adrien Brody as a psychiatrist whose patients are more than they seem. Look out for The Loved Ones' Robin McLeavy in the cast!
