"Punch-Drunk Love" Calm Fury

Today we have a short selection from my absolute favorite performance from Adam Sandler. "Punch-Drunk Love" was a large departure for Adam Sandler and his character Barry Egan is a hugely introverted character, unlike Sandler. The movie is directed by the great Paul Thomas Anderson, and is a great film that must be seen. In this scene, thugs sent by The Mattress Man (Philip Seymour Hoffman), who is blackmailing Barry, crash into Barry's car as he and his lady friend are returning to home. After a very cool shot of the car spinning, Barry finds his lady friend Lena (Emily Watson) is bleeding and injured. He exits the car and brings some justice to the backwards rednecks in one of the calmest furies you will ever see. Enjoy!
