Two slackers end a night by trying to steal a Maine Coon and up arrested in trouble. They end up working at a nuclear waste facility with one of their friends.
This off beat and off kilter dramedy doesn't do what you expect. This is a film that doesn't have characters we've see a dozen times before, nor does it do what we think it will. Yes, it begins in a kind of stereotypical way but once the guys get in trouble the film begins to take it's own trajectory. It's a move that ends up being very affecting.
I really liked this film. I liked that it mirrors it's characters and changes over the course of the film. If you told me as I was starting the film that some of the final images would make me misty I would have told you you were crazy.
If you want off the beaten path film, and since you are reading Unseen Films I assume you do, METEORS is worth tracking down. While you may not find it to be your next great thing, you will like it and love that people are still making films that exceed expectations.
