Mississippi Grind review

Two gambler’s head out on an adventure to see how long their luck will last.

For a large part of the 108 minute running time of Mississippi Grind I didn’t know what to make of it. And that’s a totally refreshing thing.

When was the last time you watched a film that totally defied conventions? That was so slippery you weren’t even sure what genre it belonged to? And this isn’t some fired up message homage which rampages from horror to action to thriller. It’s an undulating, character driven road movie which refuses to be tied down.
