Opis

"Women. You can't live with 'em, you can't live without 'em," pretty much describes the extent of a lovesick broken-down former rodeo bull rider's relationship with his ex-wife. If Sam Peckinpah were influenced by David Lynch you would have a screenplay like Sex & Violence. Sex & Violence is a genre twisting desert noir, black romantic-comedy. While Jack was breaking rocks in the hot sun, Jennifer transformed from a mousy-looking waitress at the local Waffle House into the hottest-looking stripper in a corrupt border town, where everyone is a thug or a grifter. Upon Jack's release from prison, he returns home to find Jen involved with a misogynist sugar daddy. Jack's parole officer coerces him to mule money for a drug dealer who is also the local credit dentist. Jack uses the dentist's drug money to bet on a crooked horse race. Jack gets into his old Cadillac and moves on with his newfound riches on the same night that Jen shoots the sugar daddy while he is raping her. She flees wearing only a gold G-string and clutching a nickel-plated .357 Magnum and ends up at the same gas station that Jack is filling up before leaving. The drug dealing dentist discovers that Jack used his money and decides that those race winnings are rightfully his and that Jack should be killed on general principle. Jen's six-figure nest egg from stripping is stashed away in a safe deposit box. They have to wait out the night to get the money from the bank. Soon the cops are after her and the dentist is after him. Jack and Jen might not survive the night, but the dire circumstances could rekindle their relationship.
