Law & Order: Flaw (2005)
Riveting
Another well-written, directed, and acted episode is greatly enhanced by the efforts of two fine actresses: Estella Warren and Lynda Carter. It's worth seeing this episode if for no other reason than to see these two bring their characters to life, whether they be acting apart, or against each other. Brilliantly played. These are two characters I loved to hate so much, that I seriously think they could carry their own twisted television series. The characters are a perfect example of people who care absolutely not a whit for anyone but themselves, able to switch their 'emotions' on and off at the drop of a hat. Watching the law slowly bring them to justice was truly a pleasure, as these two women made excellent adversaries for the protagonists. I would sincerely love to see these women work together again, whether it be in this series or another, or even in film.
Dead Dogs (1999)
Surprisingly good modern noir.
I saw this at a Bismarck theater when it was making the rounds. Unfortunately, all I have left is fond memories, a poster I bought afterward, and a desire to see the film again. Alas, it is nowhere to be found.
It was over five years ago that I saw this, so my memories are hazy, but previous comparisons to "Blood Simple" are not too far off, although Blood Simple was much less subtle. I actually enjoyed Dead Dogs a bit more because it was understated in its humor. I'd never seen any of the actors before, but they were all excellent, as was the directing, production design, and photography. If you are into true black-and-white noir, I can't recommend this enough. Good luck trying to find it anywhere now though.
