He Was A Quiet Man

Surprisingly good, catchy story and dialogue, great performances by everyone involved. Basically, Christian Slater plays a burned-out office worker (not unlike Milton from Office Space, only more grim and less jovial) who fantasizes about coming to work and blowing away half his irritating scumbag co-workers. I'm not entirely sure I like the very ending since it negates all the struggle and character development in the story up to that point, but it was much better than I ever expected. The characters are memorable and engaging and give their all. This one's probably not on your radar, but definitely give it a look. See it.

That's it for this edition. I'm sure I'll be back soon with more, as I can't seem to stop renting stuff. Cheers.
