Turn the River
A low-budget indie starring pretty Famke Janssen as a pool hustler. Janssen is solid and sympathetic, but it’s clear the filmmakers tried to make her asexual. Unfortunate, because all I could think about during the movie was, “How come nobody in the movie notices how pretty she is?” Tone wise it’s a bit of a downer, too. But all-in-all an excellent showcase for an actor who’s used to playing superhumans to spread her dramatic wings.
