Actors playing against type is the theme. Jason Priestly stars in "Coldblooded" (1995) as nice guy bookie who's forced to become a hit man. Turns out he's good at it. It could have been funnier. Dark comedies should have comedy. Tom Hanks plays against type as our second hit man in "Road to Perdition" (2002. Sam Mendes is one of the best directors in the world and even he couldn't save this film because of Hanks's miscasting.

Next, Showdowns with "High Noon" (1952) and "Three O'Clock High" (1987).
Thanks for listening!
