Found this gem by accident, and was thoroughly entertained: Arizona from 2018.
Cassie [Rosemarie DeWitt (Mad Men, Rachel Getting Married)] is a real estate agent and single mom struggling to keep it all together. Things go from bad to worse when a disgruntled client, Sonny (Danny McBride), confronts Cassie’s boss and accidentally kills him. Having witnessed the crime, Sonny kidnaps Cassie to keep her quiet until he figures out what to do. But he makes one outrageously bad – and bloody – decision after another, until things completely spiral out of control.
Small bit parts by Seth Rogan (Knocked Up), Luke Wilson (Idiocracy), Katlin Olson (Always Sunny), and David Allen Grier (In Living Color).
In a word, dark. Really dark yet fun. Danny McBride (The Righteous Gemstones) really plays it up, with all the violence and blood, he's more concerned about his golf game and back pain. It's this contrast that makes it entertaining. It's bloody, but in a dark humor kind of way. My kind of flick. 4/5.
