About This Movie

Nonstop (1987) is an intriguing exploration of narrative through the journey of a single revolver. It’s fascinating how this object shifts hands seven times, each transaction providing a new lens into the human experience. The film plays with pacing and story structure, often defying conventional expectations and keeping you on your toes. You can feel the tension build with every exchange, and the practical effects used in the gunplay are surprisingly effective given its era. The performances, while perhaps not always polished, carry a raw authenticity that adds to the overall atmosphere. It’s a curious piece that invites discussions about fate and choice, all wrapped in a distinctively experimental presentation.
