Dark Horse & Dirty Cops

An absurd and poetic comedy shot in black & white, Dark Horse by Dagur Kári -- of a Nói albínói fame -- is another exploration of characters who do not fit in society, with a different stylistic approach -- and another Plume Noire pick.

If you've never seen the TV series The Shield or the film Training Day, you might find Dirty original and gritty. Despite a great effort in terms of authenticiy, most of this picture is a mess and somebody should have reminded Cuba Gooding Jr that saying "mutherfucka" every 2 words doesn't make you a more convincing tough guy and actor -- it's like an imitation of a gangster for a boat trip spectacle.
