In order to know how they've hit the nail on the head that's really how the people are here this is a really twisted ass place to live the heat frys people's brains makes them act impulsively

Arizona sets out to say something about the housing boom and then the subsequent collapse in 2009 which went hand in hand with the global financial meltdown.

However this black comedy thriller has no relevant social message to convey.

Sonny (Danny McBride) is a guy whose life is going down the toilet because of failed business ventures, lousy marriage, he is in debt of all kinds and about to lose his house. When he turns up to his sleazy estate agent's office to complain, Sonny accidentally ends up killing him.

However he has to deal with the witness, Cassie who worked for the amoral estate agent. However Sonny ends up killing more people, he becomes demented and then goes after Cassie and her daughter who he also kidnapped.

The film becomes absurd. Sonny has a never ending supply of bullets. Cassie needs to watch Zombieland and the importance of the double tap. When you hit your assailant, hit him again and again. Not just run away and leave him behind with his gun.

Arizona aims to have some kind of Coen Brothers dark humour and violence. Instead it just becomes grotesque and feeble. McBride is just not a good enough actor to show any sympathy for his character, he just ends up being psychotic.
