The Revenant - 2009 - 6/10

This was on the top shelf, looking forlorn. Also looked cheap and bad, yet it was calling to me.
Production was low-rent, but it did not wallow in its lack of money. Instead il overcame fiscal limitations.
An opening desert drive was filmed at night with halogen headlights, smoke and dust.
A later sequence filmed along Sunset Strip must have been shot at 3:00 AM; about the only time that street is ever deserted.
Nor was the film bad. The story was steeped in dark humor and acid comments. Most were from the two leads, but every character was given stellar moments.
Story wise, Bart ships off to Iraq, comes back dead.
Only he won’t stay that way.
He wakes up buddy, Joey, and they come up with a plan to keep him from rotting still further.
Laugh out loud funny.
