Lowlife (2017)

In the shadowy underbelly of a crime-infested Los Angeles neighborhood, the grotesque and the comic collide in a Tarantino-esque journey of desperation and darkness. "Lowlife" unfolds through three intertwined segments: "Monsters," "Fiends," and "Thugs," each spinning the tales of a motley crew of characters bound by their ties to Teddy, a monstrous crime lord and white slaver. El Monstruo, a washed-up luchador haunted by violent blackouts, serves as Teddy's henchman, struggling to ignore the chilling realities of his job. Expecting a baby with Kaylee, a woman handed to Teddy as a child by her mother Crystal, he dreams of his unborn child fulfilling the heroic legacy he could never achieve. Then there's Keith, Teddy's accountant, who escaped a criminal past when his best friend Randy took the fall. Now, after eleven years, Randy is out of prison, but he's unrecognizably altered. His face is marked with a swastika tattoo, yet he converses and behaves like a Compton rapper, a stark contrast to his past life. As the narratives intertwine, Crystal's role is amplified. Running a motel that serves as a trap for illegal immigrants, she works in tandem with corrupt ICE agents who deliver the immigrants to Teddy for slavery or slaughter. When her ailing husband needs a kidney transplant and Teddy suggests Kaylee could be the donor, a storm brews. Kaylee's sudden disappearance, with Teddy as the prime suspect, pushes Crystal to the edge. Shotgun in hand, she embarks on a desperate mission to find her daughter, with or without El Monstruo's reluctant assistance. "Lowlife" offers a searing, darkly comic exploration of the human capacity for survival amid the bleak realities of crime and poverty. Each character's journey is a testament to the resilience and desperation that thrives in the desolate corners of society.
