Cheap Thrills (2013)

Craig (Pat Healy) is down on his luck, a family man, he's just lost his job and threatened with eviction. During a quick drink in a bar he runs into an old friend Vince (Ethan Embry), and in turn they befriend a wealthy couple (David Koechner, Sara Paxton) from snorting coke to a strip bar, things start to spiral out of control when they indulge in innocent dares, upping the stakes, all with big cash incentives.

An intriguing wickedly black comedy, headed by a great cast, especially Koechner ('Anchorman'), this movie asks what would you do for money, how far would you go, and the answer is "how much?"

Dark, disturbing, and very funny, highly recommended.
