Disabused

About This Movie

Disabused (2017) has this gritty, almost claustrophobic atmosphere that pulls you in right from the start. Vince's return to his hometown, mixed with church motifs, sets up a tone that’s heavy and layered. The film’s pacing feels deliberate, giving you time to digest Vince's conflicted emotions as he spirals into revenge and redemption. The practical effects are understated but effective, enhancing the rawness without overshadowing the narrative. Performances are compelling, particularly how Vince wrestles with his past. What stands out to me is how the film blurs the lines between moral redemption and the thirst for vengeance, leaving you questioning what really drives the characters. Definitely a unique entry in the crime genre, worth exploring for its themes.
