    This movie is original in its own twisted way. Lots of fun (if you have the right mind, of course)

    A "Tarantino" style film with plenty of psychotic characters, lots of drugs, bloody violence, and explicit nudity. What more can you ask for in a movie?


    "Casey is a former drug dealer who quit the business to become a family man, he currently lives with his wife and works as...( read more) an architect. Everything is normal, he hasn't been related to the drug business in years, but one day his former partner Nick stops by his house and gives him some heroin, which Casey throws away.

    This is where all the problems start, Casey starts getting 'visits' from people who are looking for that heroin. First is the Rasta Man, then comes Dallas after that comes Billy Hill and finally a cop named Kasarov. To make things even worse, in the middle of all of this Casey gets a visit from Dr. Jarvis who wants to interview him to see if he's able to adopt a child, which is what Casey and his wife were planning to do."


    This movie is a hidden gem, unknown by most. It's a graphic little crime thriller with many memorable scenes. The acting isn't all that perfect, and the script isn't too original, but hell this is one fucking fun movie! It's very funny at times also, in a deranged kind of way.

    Dallas, played Paulina Porizkova, portrays one of the sexiest evil bitch's that I've seen on film. She is definitely a huge highlight in this movie. The rape scene that involves her forcing sex on Casey, played by Thomas Jane, is jaw dropping and totally stunning. I never thought that a rape scene can actually be so erotic, but then again, I never really saw a movie where a woman rapes a man(a drop dead gorgeous woman for that matter). Oh boy, have the tables turned this time around, lol.

    It seems one of the movie's biggest influences was "Pulp Fiction", and all though not as good, Thursday is still a very fun and entertaining watch! Just try to be a little open minded when seeing this and I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

    Violent and darkly funny..."Thursday" is a must see! Highly recommended.

    Weird story in a good sense. The characterts react and the story develops in a way you really dont expect or would find logical. I enjoyed it..

    This is a classic. Well I think so obviously. Hidden from me for far too long. Tinterweb debate thinks the writer/director is a QT psuedonym, but similarities are just that. Comic, bloody, sex(y)(ual), brutal and offensive (from the off). OK the bad guy trying to go straight has ...( read more)been done many times, but never this well. A super cast, TJ in particular, and a great script make this a winner. Too much to say - just watch it, but not on a Thursday, they might get the Wong house.
