Without question one of the coolest styles of film is crime noir, simple fact. Dark shadows, crime, dizzy dames, guns, money and drugs (or in the earlier days booze), that's what crime noir's all about and it look's like this new flick from Phillip Guzman knows that. 2:22 is a film about a heist gone wrong. Here's the official synopsis from the 2:22 website:
The Plan was simple...the job was not. When a tight crew of four thieves decide to take down a boutique hotel in the dead of winter things go horribly wrong.
Unsuspecting hotel guests unwittingly play a part in this tangled web. Unusual lives and hard choices intertwine, twisting the scheme to the point of no return. Loyalty, love, friendship and honor are brought to a boil in this graphic crime thriller.
Rooted in reality 2:22 draws its style from the classic French film Rififi with the story telling of Dog Day Afternoon.
Right now the theatrical release is set only for West Hollywood on June 18th, but hopefully it will get a wider release or become available on DVD/Blu-ray (by the way, watch the trailer in Hi-Def they have a great cinematographer and the quality is amazing!).
