Dr. Block

About This Movie

So, Dr. Block is this intriguing little gem from 2016, blending comedy and crime in a way that feels both gritty and absurd. You’ve got Chris Miller, aka Dr. Block, a clever and slippery black-market dealer in Melbourne, which gives the film a unique local flavor. The pacing can be a bit uneven, but it kind of works with the chaotic energy of the drug scene it’s depicting. The performances are solid, especially in the way they juggle humor with the underlying tension of cops chasing down a slippery character like Dr. Block. Not a lot of flashy effects here, but the rawness of the street life really comes through. It’s distinctive in its approach to the crime genre, giving you a mix of laughs and stakes that keeps you engaged.
