Streaming on most video on demand platforms is the dark comedy thriller "Lockjaw".
Rayna is an impulsive young woman who crashes her car after a night out of drinking. She survives the crash, but her jaw is broken and wired shut and she begins to look at life from a different perspective. Tony says, "Lockjaw is a peculiar film that never quite knows what it wants to be... a comedy or a drama. Well acted and wonderfully filmed, the film keeps bouncing back and forth never committing to its humor or angst." He gives it a C and it's not rated.
In selected theaters is the crime / thriller "By Any Means". In the film, a notorious mafia hit man and an FBI agent team up to investigate the murders of civil rights leaders in 1966 Mississippi. The film stars Mark Wahlberg. Tony says, "Although a bit melodramatic in places, the film offers intriguing performances and a solid script well worth your time to check out." He gives it a B and it's rated R.
