The latest stage of Richard Linklater’s freewheeling career takes him back to the 1970s with Last Flag Flying, a 44-years-belated sequel to Hal Ashby’s masterpiece The Last Detail. It’s difficult to call much of anything from Linklater a surprise at this point: he seems as comfortable at the helm of a studio comedy powered by Jack Black’s manic energy as he does a decade-plus-spanning epic about the journey from childhood to adolescence.

We all know David Spade best for making us laugh all those years he spent on SNL, and from every buddy comedy with his best friend, the late, great Chris Farley. But in this teaser for the new thriller Warning Shot, we see a much darker side of Spade. Bruce Dern, James Earl Jones and Tammy Blanchard also star in the indie feature.
