FROM 29 Sep
Mob Land
Nicholas Maggio
A sheriff tries to keep the peace when a desperate family man violently robs a pill mill with his brother-in-law, alerting an enforcer for the New Orleans mafia.
On the face of it, this is a conventional story with ‘Bonnie and Clyde’ resonances, an outstanding, darkly humorous study of two disaffected teenagers who become trapped in a spiral of self-destruction.
It is based on a 2016 incident when two youngsters, armed with guns, barricaded themselves in a house. When police stormed the building, the consequences were fatal.
