- Excerpt: he film leaves the viewer with the impression of a man trying to beat the entropic decay that surrounds him to the punch.
- Excerpt: Roth’s almost somnambulant performance is another reflection on the influence of unimaginable wealth, one which he sprinkles with just enough glimmers of compassion to allow us to see Neil’s soul.
- Excerpt: Franco’s films are often preoccupied with the trials and tribulations of the upper classes; this is a theme that continues in Sundown, the story of a man who is willing to throw away a life of outrageous privilege in order to live out his days on a Mexican beach. Featuring a wonderfully understated performance from Tim Roth (who previously appeared in Franco’s Chronic) the film packs a surprising number of twists into a succinct 83 minutes, continuously forcing the audience to reevaluate all of our assumptions about this man and his unconventional (and often unsympathetic) choices.
- Excerpt: This is a showcase for Roth to portray a lost soul too numb to feel anything beyond surface reality.
