Close But No Cigar

About This Movie

So there's this film, 'Close But No Cigar' from 2017, and it's a bit of a mixed bag. The whole thing has a low-budget charm, with Scott and his buddy Joel stumbling through a mess of gambling debts and shady characters, which gives it a certain raw energy. It leans heavily into dark comedy, but there’s an edge that feels more unsettling than funny at times, especially with that unexpected psychopath lurking around. The pacing can drag a bit, but it builds up tension in a way that’s almost nostalgic of old-school indie films. Not a lot of info on its director or genre, which adds a layer of mystery to it. Definitely a curiosity worth checking out for those who appreciate offbeat narratives.

This film seems to be a bit of an underground gem, with limited distribution and a kind of cult following among indie enthusiasts. The scarcity of physical formats, especially in Blu-Ray, makes it a topic of interest for collectors. Many are intrigued by its quirky narrative and the lack of mainstream reception that often enhances a film's allure. Keep an eye on this one, as its unique blend of dark humor and offbeat storytelling might draw more attention over time.
