SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION
01
Why this pick
Goldthwait pairs deeply uncomfortable comedy with a scathing view of media culture and public hypocrisy, retaining the bitter, escalating tone of God Bless America while shifting the target toward manufactured grief.
02
Why this pick
A lonely, emotionally frayed man adopts violent vigilante logic in this abrasive black comedy, balancing cringe, grief, and sudden brutality much like Frank's warped moral awakening.
03
Why this pick
This is a sharper, more serious descent into everyday rage: an alienated man turns small frustrations into a volatile journey through a society he feels has abandoned him.
04
Why this pick
A deadpan British road movie whose mismatched couple turn petty social grievances into escalating violence; it shares the gleefully uncomfortable satire and casually shocking tonal shifts.
05
Why this pick
For the darkest extension of the film's provocative social contempt, this mordant, deliberately confrontational portrait treats its killer's rationalizations with cold, unnerving irony.

01 / THE STORY
Frank Murdoch (Joel Murray) is a middle-aged insurance salesman living in Syracuse, New York, who is sick with how the United States has fallen into a state of rudeness based on Popular culture, talk radio, television, and Internet influences. After a boring evening of watching television, Frank visualizes killing his loud and inconsiderate neighbors, whose baby's screams exacerbate his chronic migraine headaches and rob him of sleep. His ex-wife Alison (Melinda Page Hamilton) has custody of their daughter Ava (Mackenzie Brooke Smith), who has become a typical spoiled brat. Matters come to a head when he is fired after 11 years' service at the insurance company for obtaining a female co-worker's address without authority merely to send her roses to lift her spirits; then told by his profane and uninterested doctor that he has an inoperable, terminal brain tumor.
