John Dahl is a master of modern film noir who has injected new life into the genre with a series of tough, economical and atmospheric tales – Kill Me Again (1989), Red Rock West (1993) and most famously perhaps, the acclaimed The Last Seduction (1994). With Rounders (1998) John made the great poker movie and helped advance the careers of Edward Norton and Matt Damon. With Joyride (2001) Dahl proved himself yet again a master of the noir thriller.
