Cinnamon

Overview

IMDb R. Tomatoes

Follows a struggling small-town gas station attendant and aspiring singer, Jodi Jackson, whose life is sent into a tailspin when there’s a robbery at work.

Sporting influences from such films as _Pulp Fiction_, _No Country For Old Men_, and _Smokin’ Aces_, _Cinnamon _boasts strong characters, poignant performances, and one hell of a screenplay from a first time director. However, _Cinnamon_ is the type of thriller where its build-up is far more satisfying than the eventual resolution. It’s elegantly crafted behind and in front of the camera, but that desire for a monumental coup de grâce for such memorable characters is never actually quenched. **Full review:** https://bit.ly/madpies
