Out Of The Past, Double Indemnity

It should have spent more time in the city before he heads to the country. His redemption arc is a little too swift.   4:03pm
Van Winkle ;-):

I'm a photographer so I really enjoyed the film for its non-standard approach to visuals/lighting on top of the interesting (i.e. non-mainstream) storylines. ♥ 4:03pm

John L:

↳ Uncle Monk @4:08

One of his last films, The Outfit, is getting a 4k release soon. Ryan's part is relatively small, but it's a good one. Plus a few old school noir actors show up; Jane Greer, Timothy Carey and Elisha Cook, to name a few. 4:14pm
Todd-o-phonic Todd:

↳ John L @4:13

The Outfit is a tremendous film IMO. Taken from a Richard Stark (aka Donald Westlake) Parker novel. There is also a fabulous graphic novel rendition of it.   4:16pm

John L:

↳ DanFA @4:18

I liked the director's previous film, Dinner In America. I saw one picture of Samara Weaving holding a gun and I flashed on Linda Haynes in Rolling Thunder; it had a 70's vibe. ♥ 4:23pm
DanFA:

↳ John L @4:22

I haven't seen any of those, so I can't say. It does have a 70s sense to it, even though it's set in modern day.   4:23pm

Van Winkle ;-): I'm with Eddie with the concept of not bingeing over the years/decades, ensuring that when the time comes to take a more leisurely approach to life...one has an abundance of choices/selections. I'm definitely in "catch-up" mode these days...and it's great!   4:54pm
