Small Town Crime

While not as funny, nor quite as good, "Small Town Crime" has pace and a storyline that roll down the road like a muscle car.

Hawkes' lead is nicely fleshed-out, and transformative. All the characters that surround him are adequately performed, well-cast, and fit their small places within this quirky crime thriller.

It's a little more comedy and a good soundtrack away from an 8-9, and may still find it's way onto the back-end of a top-25 for the year of its' release; at least for me.

I sat down last evening looking for one of those rare Netflix gems, and rolled the dice. This one paid.

You'll like this if you liked: Tree's Lounge(even or a touch below)), Kiss Kiss Bang Bang(a touch better), The Lookout(a touch better),Red Rock West(a touch better), or Stuber(not as good).
