The Bust

About This Movie

The Bust is an intriguing mix of comedy, crime, and horror that really plays with your expectations. The anxious vibe of our main character is palpable, especially when that police officer suddenly pulls his friend from the car. It’s like a pressure cooker, building tension while also finding those darkly funny moments that keep things from getting too heavy. The pacing is interesting too; it shifts gears quite a bit, making you feel a bit off-balance, which fits perfectly with the themes of paranoia and friendship. Practical effects add a nice touch, especially in the more intense scenes. Performance-wise, there’s a rawness that feels refreshing. You can definitely tell Millsaps has a unique voice in how he approaches genre blending here.
