A sophisticated black comedy about karma, revenge, redemption, and crooked real estate deals.
What I enjoyed most about "Pocket Listing" was the way it blended social messages with embellished, exaggerated action. Driven by first-rate performances from Lowe, Reynolds plus a crew of gifted unknowns (Jurdi, Fahey, Clark), the story keeps you invested from start to finish as the viewer follows the journey of a Los Angeles real estate agent as he falls from grace and then gets a shot at a comeback which proves to be quite a dicey proposition.
The film's momentum really builds once the agent starts trying to sell a lavish Malibu villa, with sexy twists and turns taking the plot into unforeseen directions.
Throughout the whole show, laces of dark humor and Coen-brother like quirkiness seeps into the drama and elevates the material.
Bottom line-- this is a terrific sleeper filled with surprises and unexpected laughs. Not to be missed.
