There's ALWAYS a director's cut...

Directors Cut




     I'm not sure what to make of this. It's one part cops vs killer movie, one part mocumentary, one part parody. First of all, it's a movie, but it's voiced over and narrated by a disgruntled 'director'.  The director, as it turns out, isn't really the director, just a crowd funder. And obsessive stalking kind of crowd funder played by Penn Jillette (and yes, Teller makes an appearance and even speaks! Actually, he has a no-touch orgasm!) As the movie progresses, it becomes clear that he's disturbed and very much a stalker and kidnaps his obsession, Missy Pyle.

     True, there's some funny scenes, but it somehow glosses over the darkness that's hidden just under the surface of what became a decent 'watch once' movie. It really is reminiscent of an earlier film Penn & Teller did called Penn & Teller Get Killed. Neither is worth obsessing about, but kinda fun to watch.
