OBSERVE AND REPORT (2009) - April 10, 2009
A really well made film about a somewhat crazy mall security guard who takes the investigation of a mall flasher as an opportunity to make a name for himself. There's been a lot of comparisons to Taxi Driver, which definitely seems appropriate. In fact Jody Hill has clearly been influenced by Scorsese in more ways than one, as the visual style of the film and the use of music are quite Scorsesean (Scorseseseque? No, that definitely looks wrong). It definitely works, though I'm sure people expecting a straight-forward Seth Rogen comedy aren't going to be too sure what to make of it. ***1/2
