Arkansas

Clark Duke's crime film, which he both directed and starred in, pays homage to the works of Tarantino and the Coen Brothers, creating a unique slice of southern noir . What's it like to work for a boss you've never seen? And when things go wrong, how do you figure out if that mysterious boss is playing you? Alongside Vince Vaughn, John Malkovich, and a murder investigation circling like a vulture, Kyle and Swin's slowly unraveling story traps you in the oppressive atmosphere of the South. While critics debate the film's slow pace and meandering narrative, Vaughn's scene-stealing supporting performance and the film's unexpected finale are more than enough reason to discover this indie gem. If you're looking for a character-driven crime story that breaks the mold of standard action, Arkansas is for you.
