a5c7b9f00b A former L.A. drug dealer has moved to Houston to make a new life for himselfa married architect. Everything falls apart when he is suddenly visited by one of his former cohorts who comes carrying heroin. Discovering the dope, the architect flushes it down the drain. This sets up a series of tough customers seeking the dope including a Rasta hit-man, an ex-lover Dallas who ties him up and rapes him, a criminal called Billy with a penchant for torture, and a rogue cop. The movie opens in a Los Angeles convenience store one late Monday night, where a smalltime drug dealer named Nick (Aaron Eckhart) is trying to decide what coffee brand to buy. His ex-lover Dallas (Paulina Porizkova) and fellow hitman Billy Hill (James LeGros) are getting impatient and tell him to hurry up. Conflicts between Nick and the cashier (Luck Hari) ensue, resulting in Dallas shooting the cashier dead. Though the three attempt to cover up the crime, they are forced to also shoot a police officer (Bari K. Willerford) when he discovers blood on the ground. As on most of Quentin Tarantino's movies, it is basically shown from the criminal point of view. The only difference lies in the fact that the main character wants to retire from illegal business. But is anyway a great violent and bloody movie that has some great moment. Though small in budget and un-pretencious, it is worth a viewing if you like the story from the wrong side of the law. A little known thriller, Thursday is one of the most unexpected triumphs of recent times. It succeeds because it is a little different, although it has many of the hallmarks that Tarantino himself uses. Its suspenseful, entertaining and blackly comic in some parts. Thomas Jane plays a man with a past that comes back to haunt him. He has left a life of crime behind him and has settled down in suburbia with his wife (Paula Marshall - That Old Feeling) and genuinely believes that things are on the up. Enter an old friend who unintentionally triggers off a number of events which disturb his usually quiet lifestyle. Watch out for screen favourites Michael Jeter (Drop Zone), Glenn Plummer (Speed), James Le Gros (Point Break) and Mickey Rourke. Well worth a rental.
