Puncture

This week's most rewarding drama pick in Australia on Amazon Prime Video, and in the US on Amazon Prime Video and fuboTV is Puncture. It knows exactly what kind of film it is from the opening scene, and never loses that thread. 438 viewers have already rated it on TMDB — the kind of consensus that does not happen by accident. Chris Evans's performance alone is worth the time investment. Available now on Amazon Prime Video — press play and find out why people keep recommending it.

Puncture arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. Puncture takes its time building the world its characters inhabit, and the patience pays off. Based on a true story. Mike Weiss (Chris Evans) is a brilliant but self-destructive Houston attorney whose drug addiction threatens to destroy his career. When he and his law partner Paul Danziger (Mark Kassen) take on a case involving a nurse injured by a contaminated needle, they uncover a $130 billion medical supply monopoly that has been blocking a life-saving safety The performances from Chris Evans and Mark Kassen give it more weight than the premise alone would suggest. Puncture came out in 2011. What elevates Puncture is a refusal to let any character off the hook too easily. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Viewers drawn to character-driven storytelling will find plenty to sit with in Puncture. It does not lean on comparisons to make its case. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single evening. Chris Evans carries the material with a performance that rewards close attention. Worth starting sooner rather than later.

Puncture was released in 2011, directed by Adam Kassen. The full 100-minute film is available to watch now.
