  There are films where you know from the get-go that they are going to shock you and then there are films that come out of nowhere. "Arizona", the latest from RLJE Films, unequivocally falls into the category of the later. Built upon a simple, darkly comedic premise, "Arizona" presents a series of escalating events which disturb, jolt, and otherwise pummel the audience right along with the leads. With a hilariously dark script from "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" writer Luke Del Tredici, captivating direction from Jonathan Watson (HBO’s "Vice Principals"), and an all-star cast featuring Danny McBride ("Vice Principals"), Rosemarie DeWitt ("La La Land"), Luke Wilson ("Old School"), David Alan Grier ("The Carmichael Show"), and Kaitlin Olson ("It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia"), there’s no shortage of talent coursing through the whole of "Arizona". Talent alone, however, doesn’t make for an engaging cinematic experience, but talent combined with a genre-mixing script – that’ll drop your jaw to the floor.
