David soon becomes obsessed with his mission at the cost of his marriage. Now, the mayor, played by William Hurt (another in a string of eccentric performances), has made it his mission to bring down the Rectifier.
Watching this movie, you may notice something odd about it: it’s about real life – adults acting like adults, psychologically developed characters battling a feeling of impotence in the modern world. And yet, it also manages to be brazenly funny, a genuine kind of humor that surprises you.
This flies in the face of the current studio comedy output. It’s downright refreshing. Hats off to writer/director Henry Bean (The Believer).
