An impressive and intelligent thriller/noir in the vein of the Coen Brother's "Blood Simple". Desperate characters on the margins of society. They're barely hanging on as they dwell in the dark cracks of the California dream. The film is like razor wire, stretched tight, ready to snap and cut everyone in half. Solid acting. Looks great. Fab score. It's even got meteorites. And it's all done on what appears to be a shoestring. (Which makes what they pulled off all the more impressive.) Looking forward to seeing what director Gurzi can do with a real budget. He's obviously a bold filmmaker - one who's sure not gonna pull his punches. "Heaven Strewn" is definitely worth a watch.
