Photo: 'A Dark Foe'/Vertical Entertainment 'A Dark Foe' is an admirable attempt at filmmaking, but it stumbles a bit right out of the gate. The film, directed by Maria Gabriela Cardenas, and written by her father, Oscar Cardenas, has an aesthetic and personality that are very much in a similar vein to modern noir like David Fincher's 'Se7en'. So much so that if the director said she wasn't even slightly inspired by those movies, it’d be one of the biggest twists of ‘A Dark Foe’. But if nothing else, the cop thriller was a nice reminder of how much I missed these kinds of atmospheric cop movies where there's an intrinsic connection between cop and serial killer that almost feels supernatural in design.

Sony Pictures Classics’ sci-fi drama Nine Days starring Winston Duke opens in four theaters in a specialty market buoyed by recent releases like Roadrunner: A Film About Anthony Bourdain and Pig.

(The slow reviving specialty scene is keeping its head down as day-and-date tensions in wide release blockbuster-land explode.)
Nine Days hits NYC and LA today before rolling out nationwide August 6 in 250-275 theaters, said Jason Michael Berman, a producer, and president of Mandalay Pictures — of course depending on how it does. He’s upbeat after 800 people turned out for LA screening this week at The Theatre at the Ace Hotel with EP Spike Jonze introducing the film, written and directed by Edson Oda,...
