Thirty Proof Coil (2010)
Surprisingly good fun!
When I found out about this locally produced independent film I wondered how it would compare to the multi-million dollar productions that I'm accustomed to seeing. I went in with modest expectations, but I'm happy to say that the movie was better than a lot of the big budget movies I'm used to. It had everything I would expect of a thriller - jump out of the seat scares, surprising twists, and scenes that gave me the heebie-jeebies. I also enjoyed the dark humor and pop culture references sprinkled throughout the movie. Calico Cooper's performance reminded me of Sigourney Weaver in the first Alien movie - a young woman thrown into a life or death situation and forced to discover a level of toughness she didn't know she had. Tate McCullough was very cool and entertaining as the smoking man and Annie Cosho seemed right at home using her "mom voice". I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and I look forward to seeing more from Calico Cooper and the team of that produced Thirty Proof Coil!
