Stylish, carnival hit job comedy, 15 May 2000
Author: hollow_statues from london

Lava is a wicked, dark comedy about a supermarket shelf stacker and an incompetent mercenary, seeking revenge on a small time drug dealer. Based on the same real life event as 'the last yellow' (The directors are brothers!). Although taking a similar inspiration, the stories couldn't be more different. Lava is gritty, gory and above all a bit of a laugh. But don't take it too seriously.
