Chicanery

About This Movie

So, Chicanery is this odd little gem from 2017 that’s kind of off the beaten path. It tells the story of Darren Flare, a bit of a bumbling newscaster who finds himself wrapped up in a major scoop about a notorious terrorist. The atmosphere is this quirky blend of dark humor and tension, with a pacing that keeps you guessing. The performances are a mixed bag, but Flare’s character really stands out, giving it an almost absurdist feel. It's not the usual fare and feels distinctive in how it tackles themes of media sensationalism and the line between truth and fiction. If you're into those off-kilter narratives, it’s worth checking out.

Chicanery hasn't seen much in terms of distribution, making it a bit of a rarity in collector circles. It was released primarily on digital platforms, but physical copies are scarce, leading to increasing interest among niche collectors. The film’s unconventional approach and unique storyline make it a curious piece to track down, especially for those who appreciate offbeat narratives.
