John Dahl

Seems like a cool enough noir thriller guy.

Rounders (1998) -- Actually a pretty interesting movie, lots of cool poker stuff and other great stuff from Matt Damon and Edward Norton.

Joy Ride (2001) -- Basically a teen horror movie, this is neither horrible nor good. The best thing about it is mimicking the Rusty Nail killer (you know, the guy whose actions totally go beyond his motivations) by saying "Candy cane..." in his deep voice. But, yeah, not horrible, and worth seeing if you're wanting a laid-back and slightly tense little thriller. Of course, whoever is in charge of changing interesting and clever titles to bland titles did so here, since this used to be called Squelch.
