Co-Written and directed by Noah Buschel starring Corey Stoll as Bud also called "The Saint" who used to be a renown boxer and is now struggling to stay afloat. Once he agrees to get back on his feet again by training another boxer, Kid Sunshine, (Malcolm Xavier), Bud then gets himself involved with an old former sleazeball acquaintance, J. J. (Billy Crudup) with his paid goon, Roberto (Yul Vasquez).

A half hour in and I felt like I've had enough. There's nothing to captivate or intrigue about all the dialogue and slow paced scenes. Glass Chin was mostly an annoying waste of time.

I mean, I just can't get enough of this director. He's incredible. Every performance in this whole film is out of this world. I thought Corey Stoll was so so. But this movie is so fun to watch.

Loved the camerawork. Some frames we are shown everything, others nothing. Menacing atmosphere beneath peaceful surface. Threat of violence is constantly there but - unusual for a boxing/criminal world setting - it only happens off screen. Actors top rate. SPOILER When I talk about "framing" ,it is very important in this movie (lol).

It's Crudup who steals every scene, whether he's waxing philosophical about the benefits of iCloud or blackmailing Bud with a charming, unsettling grin.

Story-wise, nothing in Glass Chin will surprise you. But stylistically, the film's got something cool going on.

The true measure of a good tale is in the telling, and writer-director Noah Buschel spins his yarn in an unexpected, ultimately satisfying fashion.

Rated: 3/4

Besides being a moody piece, the film is also very much a character study, profiling Gordon and his relationships with every supporting character.

It's a truly nifty little neo-noir gem that deserves to find an audience.

It's compact and stripped down, but it contains multitudes.
