High Life
Timothy Olyphant, Joe Anderson, Stephen Eric McIntyre, Rossif Sutherland
A blackly comic heist movie, from the grubby flipside of the 80s consumer dream...
1983, and hopeless junkie Dick (Timothy Olyphant) gets an unwelcome visit from the past – his seriously sleazy former cellmate, Bug (Stephen Eric McIntyre), to be precise. Bug requires a crash course in the 80s: different music, different drugs, and machines in walls that dispense money. Then, the latter development gives him an idea… The resulting manic bank job plan unfolds with hectic humour, high-wire tension and terrific performances.

It's a really good dark comedy and much more than a heist movie, it played more like a buddy movie for me. I'd highly recommend that anyone looking for a good laugh add this to your viewing list.
