Medias Res

About This Movie

Medias Res is an interesting blend of comedy and crime that keeps you on your toes. The film captures that gritty Oakland vibe perfectly, with Dave and Joe stumbling from one misadventure to the next after their eviction. It balances humor with darker themes, like the absurdity of their situation and the desperation that drives them. The pacing is frenetic; you get these wild car chases and shoot-outs that feel both chaotic and oddly choreographed. Summer Hayes' character adds a nostalgic twist, and the way they incorporate her into the madness infuses the film with a quirky charm. The practical effects have a rawness that enhances the overall tone, making each scene feel grounded amidst the chaos, which is a refreshing touch in today's digital-heavy landscape.
