Theatrical trailer
When quiet, aimless and amiable Vann Siegert (Owen Wilson) drifts into town, no one suspects the evil that lies beneath the surface. Despite his easy charm, he is merely a reflection of what those who encounter him want him to be. The more Vann tries to make a go of his new life, the stronger the mysterious forces are that pull him in a darker direction. When locals start to disappear, it becomes clear that an eerie subtraction is at work among the lost and lonely of this sleepy, seaside hamlet. People look toward Vann, but no one can quite put their finger on who he really is. Through it all, he carries on a surreal dialogue with imaginary detectives who question his crimes and motives.
Pre-order The Minus Man.

There are many song cues apropos to particular road trips, and vice versa. You might wonder about being born in the back of a Greyhound bus when riding on Highway 41 through Georgia. You might feel like stopping for a brew somewhere along US2 twelve hours out of Mackinaw City. Readin’, rightin’, and Route 23 might have put you Detroit City bound on that old Hillbilly Highway. You might be thinking about getting back to Ojai while hitching a ride up the PCH. Or about all those things that are easily done out on Highway 61. Not to mention the kicks on Route 66.
Myself, I’m way past seventeen and it’s more than a half century since 1965, but I was running up 101 the other day for the first time in my life, so I had to cue up some Jackson Browne.
