Ramshackle

Snatch, In Bruges, Fargo, Buffalo 66, and Ramshackle. These are all dark crime films with even darker senses of humor. However, Ramshackle is not a world that only exists for criminals and gangsters. This film is filled to the brim with real people battling abnormally difficult situations that could befall anyone. It is difficult to imagine a more terrifying and dehumanizing experience than to be in prison for a crime you did NOT commit. How do you come back from losing four years of your life due to someone else’s negligence? How do you clear your name, regain respect, and get a second chance at life? Ramshackle is a chaotic, brutal, shocking, charming, and hilarious journey of revenge and self-reflection for main character, Evan Kingsley. With its larger-than-life characters, quotable, razor-sharp dialogue, and unique setting in Upstate New York, Ramshackle is as fresh as they come and doesn’t pull any punches in entertaining its audience.
