After watching Ghoul last night, I decided to kick back and
watch something very different. Of course, that is usually a challenge, as I do
not have that type of movie readily available. However, last night was
different as we had a movie here on hand. That flick was the 2013 action comedy
Pawn Shop Chronicles.
Plot/ A missing wedding ring leads to a wild-goose chase
involving meth addicts, skinheads and an Elvis impersonator.
This is definitely not my usual selection, but I was in the
mood for a comedy and this one fit the bill. Like a low-budget clone of the
classic Pulp Fiction, this one was extremely disjointed with just enough
incoherent related moments to somewhat pull it all together. The most
impressive thing was that while it had some head scratching moments, the acting
was solid and it was funny, disturbing and entertaining. It was far from
perfect, as the scripting was uneven and the entire storyline spiraled downward
in some bizarre manner as the film wore on. In the end, this one is not for
everyone. Yes, will help pass some time and put a smile a face, but it will
also turn some people off in a big way. If you want to see a low budget
disjointed comedy, check it out!
