Full Contact

Full Contact (1992) is a taut, violent thriller that zeroes in on Jeff, a man pushed to the brink by betrayal when his friend Judge robs him of both a debt and his dignity. As Jeff hatches a brutal scheme of revenge, the film's claustrophobic atmosphere and relentless pacing mirror the protagonist's simmering rage. Director Richard Elfman crafts a relentless narrative that strips away moral niceties, leaving only the raw mechanics of vengeance and the toll it exacts on body and soul.
