A legendary filmmaker (The Naked Kiss, Shock Corridor, The Big Red One) whose work inspired Spielberg, Tarantino, Scorsese and more, Samuel Fuller was also a novelist, a newspaper reporter (at 17 one of the youngest ever to work a New York City crime beat), and a veteran of the D-Day landing on Omaha Beach in World War II (immortalized unforgettably in the harrowing opening scene of Spielberg’s Saving Private Ryan). In the final days of WWII, Fuller was also part of the division that liberated the Falkenau death camp in Czechoslovakia. He returned to the U.S. a war hero and became one of the most idiosyncratic and powerful voices in Hollywood, dramatizing violence and brutality in ways never before seen on American movie screens. Following a dispute with Paramount Pictures over racial content in his film White Dog, Fuller went into self-imposed exile in France, where he wrote BRAINQUAKE. At the end of his life, Fuller briefly returned to Hollywood. He died in 1997 at the age of 85.

Brainquake

by Samuel Fuller - Fiction, Noir, Suspense, Thriller

The bagmen who transport money for organized crime live by a set of rules: no personal relationships, no ties, no women…and never, ever look inside the bag you’re carrying. Paul Page was the perfect bagman, despite suffering from a rare brain disorder. But that ended the day he saw a beautiful Mob wife become a Mob widow. Now Paul is going to break every rule he’s lived by --- even if it means he might be left holding the bag.
