My buddy Melissa and I saw 2017's "Thoroughbreds" as our Sunday movie this week and it was a sleeper/winner in a year of idiotic blockbuster comic book movies. Another thriller/black comedy, a genre I seem to be naturally drawn too. Nicely and subtlety filmed and kept the characters morphing throughout the story to keep one a little off balance. One of those movies where certain scenes give you hints to where the story may be headed if you pay attention and veered away from cliches just at the right moment to keep you interested. 

All the actors were very good, but Olivia Cooke as a rich sociopathic teenage girl stole the whole movie. Her nuanced performance never wavered in how a sociopath would react to the situations and people around her. Her expressions were priceless, and she even managed to make you feel some sympathy for her by the end as possibly the only genuinely honest character in the story. She has that golden age, classic Hollywood face too, like a Hedy Lamarr or Dorothy Lamour. I'll keep my eye out for her! Highly recommended!
