About This Movie

So, 'The Lonely Businessman's Big Score' is quite the piece from '84. It dives into the life of a Latino businessman. You know, a bit of humor intertwined with a whole lot of melancholy. His little shop isn't doing well, and then you’ve got this child stuck in a well, which really ramps up the stakes. The pacing is not what you’d expect; it feels almost meditative at times, allowing the weight of the moral dilemma to sink in. You can’t help but feel for the guy, caught between honesty and the harsh reality of what it means to save a life. The performances carry a certain rawness, making it distinctive in how it handles such heavy themes without over-dramatizing. A film definitely worth reflecting on.
