Dan Lotz doesn't care about your suspension of disbelief. With CHLORINE he tells the story of a very unlikely hitman, and a bunch of organized crime guys that look nothing like what we've come to expect. This is done with such confidence that the film takes on a surreal, unsettling, almost unreliable narrator-esque quality-and never breaks, never winks. It assumes we are intelligent enough to get what's going on. I love what Dan has accomplished here-CHLORINE is way less obsessed with itself than something like MR. ROBOT, but hits similar unsettling meta notes. I'd compare it to DARK HORSE, one of Solondz' best films. Take the journey-you'll be glad you did.
