Combining elements of a D-grade erotic thriller and a deconstructed international thriller, Boarding Gate proves duly snazzy and sleazy -- kinda skanky in a highfalutin' way.

The makers of this extra-­crunchy popcorn movie -- an Inside Man-ish heist flick, but also a spy tale, and ultimately a tribute to an exuberant game of chicken -- claim it’s based on a true story. If they’re serious, then it’s also a masterpiece of investigative journalism, one that shows British intelligence agents concocting a scheme too baroque to believe. Follow this exhilarating loop: In 1971 an ex-­model named Martine (Burrows, as glossy as everything else on display) gets busted smuggling dope into Heathrow, and her part-­time bedmate, a man on the rise at MI5, helps her out of the jam in exchange for a little favor.

This portrait of psychosis slouches into release a couple months before the other Mark David Chapman movie, Chapter 27, which stars Jared Leto as the shooter and Lindsay Lohan perhaps just for the hell of it. What Killing lacks in celebrity sparkle, it compensates for in raw ambition and rude chills.

Loopy but glossy, this heist movie plays like a camp classic searching for its cult. Jason (Stahl), who has wandered in from some Reality Bites remake, goes to the bank to take out his last 20 bucks or maybe just to whine about his ATM fees.
