Red Rock West (1992)Directed by John DahlDoomsy’s Rating: 83/100Hilariously unhinged and beautifully shot, John Dahl’s Red Rock West is a dark and depraved Lynch-esque odyssey across Wyoming as drifter Michael (Nic Cage) assumes the persona of a hitman hired to a kill a man’s wife (Lara Flynn Boyle) in a small town. Complications arise, however when the real hitman (Dennis Hopper) turns up and all hell breaks loose. This is a fascinating blend of neo noir, erotic thriller, and action thriller and the manic insanity of Hopper makes it all the better. Cool soundtrack, too. Cage is surprisingly fairly restrained, likely due to the presence of a far nuttier lunatic on set. Perfect Friday night entertainment. -- source link
