Likely Stories Vol. 2

About This Movie

Likely Stories Vol. 2 is one of those films that really digs into the murky waters of political ambition and moral decay. Vince D'Angelo, played with a certain slimy charm, embodies the less savory aspects of campaigning. The pacing feels almost relentless, as every underhanded tactic unfolds, showcasing a world where ethics take a backseat to ambition. It has this rough, gritty atmosphere that mirrors the struggles of its characters, and while it’s not a household name, it captures a certain zeitgeist of 80s political satire. The performances are definitely an interesting mix, some feel exaggerated, which adds to that darkly comic edge. Not your typical political drama, but it’s intriguing in how it portrays the lengths people will go to for power.

Likely Stories Vol. 2 has a sort of rarity about it, often overlooked in discussions of 80s cinema. It was released in a format that hasn't seen widespread reissues, making original media not easy to come by. Collectors often appreciate the unique blend of dark humor and political commentary it offers. Its distinct tone and character-driven narrative resonate particularly well with those interested in lesser-known gems of the era.
