In 1979, Iranian filmmaker John S. Rad (né Jahangir Salehi Yeganehrad) moved to the U.S. to shoot his dream project, a rampaging gutter epic of crime, revenge, cop sex and raw power. Just 26 years later, he completed an American action film masterpiece that the world is still barely ready for today: Dangerous Men.
After Mira (Melody Wiggins) witnesses her fiancé’s brutal murder by beach thugs, she sets out on a venomous spree to eradicate all human trash from Los Angeles. Armed with a knife, a gun, and an undying rage, she murders her way through the masculine half of the city’s populace. A renegade cop is hot on her heels, a trail that also leads him to the subhuman criminal overlord known as “Black Pepper.”
It’s a pulse-pounding, heart-stopping, brain-devouring onslaught of ’80s thunder, ’90s lightning, and pure filmmaking daredevilry from another time and/or dimension. Blades flash, blood flows, bullets fly, and synthesizers blare, as the morgue overflows with the corpses of… Dangerous Men. (c) Drafthouse Films
“The supreme masterpiece of no-rules action film insanity” – Hitfix
“Not dissimilar to David Lynch’s funicular emotionalism, Buñuel’s epistemological sight gags, Godard’s formalistic intrusions or the conceptual hysteria of something like Andrzej Zulawski’s Possession. It’s as if somehow, miraculously, our own present-day Ed Wood suddenly walked among us.” — L.A. Weekly
