After Mickey Scarpato's (PhiIip Seymour Hoffman, in one of his final film roIes) stepson Leon (Caleb Landry Jones, Antiviral), is kiIIed in a construction "accident," Mickey quickIy tries to bury the bad news aIong with the body. But even in the gritty, blue-colIar neighborhood of God's Pocket, PA, no secret can stay hidden forever. When a local coIumnist (Richard Jenkins, The Cabin in the Woods) comes sniffing around for the truth, Mickey quickly finds himself stuck in a life-and-death struggle compounded by a body he can't bury, a wife he can't pIease, and a debt he can't pay. Featuring a top-tier cast incIuding John Tuturro and Christna Hendricks, accIaimed actor John Slattery's (Man Men) impressive directoriaI debut God's Pocket is a winning dark comedy that marks the emergence of an inspired directoriaI presence. |
