Scorched (2003) Apr 2026

as Jason "Woods" Valley : A nature-loving employee who wants to avenge a local duck's death.

: The small, dusty town atmosphere adds to the "indie comedy" feel of the film, contrasting with the high-stakes tension usually found in heist movies. Why Watch It?

as Shmally : A local who joins the fray with her own chaotic energy.

as Sheila Rilo : A bank teller driven to the brink after being mistreated and dumped by her boss.

: If you enjoy early 2000s comedy, seeing icons like Alicia Silverstone ( Clueless ) and Woody Harrelson share the screen is a highlight.

: It leans into the absurdity of the situation rather than action, making it a lighthearted alternative to gritty crime films. My chief take away from this is… She might be single?!

: The film utilizes a "Rashomon-style" narrative where we see the events of the same night play out from different perspectives as the three separate plans collide.

as Rick Becker : The arrogant bank manager and the target of Sheila's revenge. Key Plot Points
