While it may not be one of king’s greatest stories, DOLAN’S CADILLAC was an entertaining little novella, and should be a good case of revenge played out on screen. At least, we hope it’s gonna play out well on screen. The trailer below isn’t exactly Shakespeare (or anything else, really), but I think there may be hope in there… somewhere…
As a refresher, DOLAN’S CADILLAC goes like this: Robinson is a non-descript middle school teacher whose beloved wife, Elizabeth, witnesses an execution in the desert and becomes a target for the executioner, notorious Las Vegas crime boss Jimmy Dolan. Dolan’s vast wealth was accumulated through his human trafficking operation, a lucrative business he will not jeopardize. The mobster succeeds in having Elizabeth killed before she can testify against him. Without a witness to the murders, Dolan goes free. The Knowledge that Dolan is behind Elizabeth’s death fosters in Robinson an insatiable thirst for revenge. However, Dolan is virtually untouchable traveling only in his custom Cadillac with tank-like protection. On a steep descent into madness, Robinson begins seeing visions of his dead wife wherever he goes. Spurred on by Elizabeth’s spectre, Robinson begins his elaborate plan to kill Jimmy Dolan.
Nothing like revenge to get your blood pumping. Slater and Bentley appear to be just sort of “there”, as if they’re just going through the motions. But hey–at least Emmanuelle Vaugier is lookin’ hot!
Check out the trailer below, and get ready for some DOLAN’S CADILLAC in the near future.
