Proxy Review
Zack Parker’s Proxy opens with a brutal beating, depicts a bloody shooting at its midway point, and culminates in another merciless killing. Nestled between these three chilling acts of violence is an equally chilling tale of loneliness, grief, and mental instability. Working from a script penned by both himself and Kevin Donner, Parker seamlessly follows the lives of four different people and depicts the process of their lives intersecting with a skill on level with Soderbergh’s Traffic, Haggis’s Crash, and even Iñárritu’s Babel – admittedly on a smaller scale, but just as concise.
