Cul-de-Sac - At 'Dem Flicks with Malcolm

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

Synopsis:
I'm not saying The Ref ripped this movie off, but I am silently implying it.

Review:
Donald Pleasance is married to a hot French chick half his age and he owns a castle on his own tiny, private island. To balance out that good fortune, he's absolutely ball-less and henpecked with negative testosterone. A couple gangsters, some guy with a Hitler 'stache and matching gut wound and Lionel Stander (Kup -- "ba weep granna weep ninny bong") show up at his doorstep one day.

Lionel calls his boss for help while he gets drunk and berates Donald, his wife, and their friends when they drop in for an unannounced visit.

Verdict:
It's one of Polanski's least rapey movies. Much of a pedo as that dude is, damn he makes some good films.
