Small Engine Repair

Manchester mechanic Frank Romanoski (John Pollono) coaxed his lifelong bros--swaggering Swaino (Jon Bernthal) and reticent Packie (Shea Whigham)--out to his shop for a wee-hours hang. When the macho reverie gets interrupted with the arrival of a preppie college kid (Spencer House) looking to deal, Frank’s cloudy agenda for the get-together snaps into stunning focus. Writer-director Pollono’s adaptation of his play also stars Ciara Bravo, Jordana Spiro, Josh Helman. 103 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
