What I liked

This is gonna be quick. Michael Shaw Fisher and Ben Moroski tear the place apart for an hour. One scene, two characters, and ten gallons of gasoline. It’s glorious, like thrash acting or monster truck theater. It’s brutal and funny. And these two are memorizing to watch as they piece together their fractured tale of who they are and how they got here. I’d see it again.

What I didn't like

My one note (for what it’s worth) would be on the script: Once a character has achieved their stated primary goal, their dramatic journey ends unless we discover a deeper primary goal. And money, ultimately, is not the strongest dramatic goal.

My overall impression

If you like knife fights or trains smashing into each other, or either of these actors, you’ll like this.

MOVE IT UP YOUR LIST.
