Movie Reviews of Clay Pigeons
Movie Review: ONE OF THE BEST BRAIN TEASERS EVER
Summary: 5 Stars
Droll crime drama.
Cops (Scott Wilson & Janeane Garofalo) vs homicidal maniac.
If anything can go wrong, it will.
"I should have followed my mother's advice and moved to New York city where it's peacefull and safe."
Twists & turns galore.
"Sheriff, I can explain!
The fact that my girlfriend, her husband, all my friends, all my enemies,
and everybody I've met in the last week have died, is purely coincidental."
Adult content.
Vince Vaughn at his best.
Joaquin Phoenix at his best.

Summary of Clay Pigeons
CLAY (AS IN THE TITLE) IS A YOUNG MAN IN A SMALL TOWN WHO WITNESSES HIS FRIEND KILL HIMSELF BECAUSE OF THE ONGOING AFFAIR THAT CLAY WAS HAVING WITH THE MAN'S WIFE.Set in Montana's Big Sky country, shot in Utah, lensed by Eric Alan Edwards (cinematographer of My Own Private Idaho)--no wonder it's hard to tell where Clay Pigeons lives, or where it's going. A Ridley Scott protégé previously at home in commercials and videos, debuting director David Dobkin aims to deliver us into the blackly comedic badlands of neo-noir, territory mined by the likes of Red Rock West and Fargo. Pigeons launches strongly, with several cruel turns of the screw. Out target-shooting, Clay Birdwell (Joaquin Phoenix) is hit with the news that his best pal knows he's been boffing his ur-slut wife (Georgina Cates) and could take Clay out on the spot, but chooses a creepier revenge--committing suicide in order to frame the guy who's cuckolded him. Naturally, Clay covers up the mess, thereby opening the film's can of very nasty worms. A slick, fast-talking cowboy (Vince Vaughn)--the funhouse-mirror-opposite of Phoenix's sweet, slow farmboy--turns up, and a string of ugly murders begins to play out. Once Vaughn's Lester Long is on the scene, spreading his psychotically giggling bonhomie, Dobkin's skin-deep riff on Hitchcock's Strangers on a Train pretty much belongs to him. The rest of the cast looks more or less like clay pigeons set up by a scattershot script: exceptions include the always-estimable Scott Wilson who transforms his caricature-prone Sheriff Mooney into a character of nuanced humanity, and Janeane Garofalo, as an urban-hip FBI agent, whose single-chick sarcasm goes down in flames when Lester unholsters those big guns of come-hither charm. John Lurie of Lounge Lizards fame contributes a distinctive score, but Elvis Presley acts as the film's patron saint in more ways than one: Clay Pigeons' sexiest, scariest wet work is choreographed to "It's Now or Never." --Kathleen Murphy
