Kathryn Bigelow’s ice cool co-directed debut film stars Willem Defoe in his first leading role. In the film he plays Vance, an outlaw biker in a gang of drifters making their way to the races in Daytona. A small town stop leads to friction with locals and a bender of sex and violence ensues. This independent gem evokes the rebels of 1950s Americana with both curious nostalgia and a detached revisionism.
M | Moderate violence, Moderate sexual references, Suicide theme
