Breathless

If you think this is a remake of the New Wave French Cinema classic directed by Jean-Luc Goddard, then you are in for a rude awakening. Directed by Jesse Baget (Cellmates), this is the story of a Texas trailer park wife named Lorna (Gina Gershon) who finds out that her no good husband (a hilarious Val Kilmer) has just robbed a bank. She’s not upset that he broke the law, but she’s pissed off that he isn’t sharing the money. While interrogating her husband to find where he  hid the loot, Lorna accidentally kills him setting off a serious of increasingly absurd, hilarious and gory events. Gershon gives terrific performance as Lorna, delivering chills and chuckles by the truckload because she plays the character so straight and believable in some truly outrageous circumstances. Kelly Giddish is perfect as Tiny, Lorna’s best friend and accomplice. Those who like their comedy dark will love what these ladies do.
