>Has anyone seen this movie? What a little noir
gem.
Yes. Had the pleasure of seeing Blast in a
theatre during NoirCon in Philly last month. Mike White and
Eddie Muller introduced it along with Muller's short film,
The Grand Inquisitor.
For those who haven't seen Blast, it contains a
second person narration ("You walk the streets," etc) that
sounds as if it's the conscience or psyche of the lead
character, a hit man stalking his prey on the streets of NYC
at Christmastime. It's shocking, and funny at times. Baeza's
right, it's a real gem. And it's as noir as they come.
I'm looking forward to getting the DVD so I can
watch the docu and listen to the commentary. Mike White has a
short review here:

and here's the trailer (the narration on the
trailer is not from the film):
