The gasoline should have hit the typewriter while this one was still in the pre-production stage. While on a suicide run through the desert, a tortured but terminally hip filmmaker (Garrett Hedlund) meets his evil twin in the form of Dennis Hopper-impersonating spree-killer Oscar Isaac. The nine minutes of Hedlund’s silent posturing that opens the picture quickly fades to a din the moment Isaac shows up and starts to wax philosophic. More existential horseshit from the master of the form, screenwriter (The Departed, The Gambler)-turned-director (London Boulevard) William Monaghan. This dopplegangbang references enough literary sorts to keep viewers abreast of the director’s updated reading list, yet when it comes to the aesthetics of cinema, our protagonist settles in for a drunken screening of Greed in the wrong aspect ratio. As the tough-minded girl in the picture, Louise Bourgoin is the only member of the cast to crack the script’s otherwise laughable veneer. (2015) — Scott Marks
