How a hatchet-man critic made his own $7000 movie and put it all on his credit card.
Approximately 77% of the movies made in the US this year will generate the reaction "I could have made a better movie than that". Now Joe Queenan tests the truth of that smug certainty in 'The Unkindest Cut'. Following the maverick mould of Quentin Tarantino, Spike Lee and Robert Rodriguez he becomes an auteur and in the process funnier than ever.
There were obstacles along the way: a knife stabbing on the set of the film. Massive cost overruns. Sabotaged equipment. The tearful resignation of his seven year-old son from the cast. But in the end Queenan did what he set out to do, producing a film that is without question "the most expensive $7000 film in history". And he put it all on his credit card.
