Manglehorn

If you are a locksmith and you like Al Pacino, you might be interested in yet another film portrayal of the profession, 'Manglehorn', described as a 'surreal slice of life' about a cat-loving locksmith.

We haven't seen the film yet (by David Gordon Green) but the poster shows (presumably) Manglehorn with a smoking gun and a cat with the tag "You get one shot at life. Try not to miss."

There must be something fascinating for film-makers about the ability to open virtually any door or safe, but it would be nice to see the skill portrayed in a positive light, but then films are all about high drama, aren't they?
