Vincent N Roxxy

I think if Emile was paid by the word he is the highest paid actor in Hollywood ever. And can we stop saying Zoe Kravitz is a good actress? She's not, she super attractive and exotic looking and most of her career is wearing a crop top and having her dreadlocks cover her face. Emory Cohen as 'JC' his brother, sucks all the air out of the room and literally cannot STFU. Also, this movie sux. You've seen it and all the stereotype characters in it a million times. I think the only thing that's missing is a redneck stripclub.

Vincent N Roxxy is one of those nihilistic slow burn violent crime dramas that is tailor made for Ryan Gosling. However Gosling was not available and the script is terrible. Vincent (Emile Hirsch) rescues Roxxy (Zoë Kravitz) when she is being attacked and he runs the man over. Roxxy is in trouble after her brother got killed and he owed some bad people a lot of money. Vincent invites her to hide out at her brother's farmhouse. Vincent is estranged from his screw up brother JC (Emory Cohen) since his mother's death. However both decide to start again and open up an auto workshop. However it is revealed that Vincent's and Roxxy's encounter was far from accidental. The film is lifeless and charmless with a dirge like brooding opening two acts of the movie. It only shows some adrenaline with the gory grindhouse violent scenes at the end.

At first you think your watching a kinda crappy b movie. And you'll be tempted to bail on it. But if you stick with it you'll start to enjoy these actors and the cool soundtrack. And eventually all the violence ramps up and ends in a kinda taxi driver inspired climax that I really liked So all in all totally not a 1star movie as some of these reviews would have you believe. It totally redeems itself towards the end and is well worth a watch.
