Chlorine is a drama film directed by Jay Alaimo and released in 2015. Set in the affluent town of Copper Canyon, the film explores the lives of the wealthy residents and their pursuit of financial gain and social status.
Vincent D'Onofrio plays Roger, a former successful businessman who has fallen into a slump and is struggling to connect with his wife Georgie (Kyra Sedgwick) and their two children, Haley and Alex. Georgie is unhappy with their stagnant lifestyle and becomes fixated on making money through investing in the local housing market.
Roger's chance to make a quick profit presents itself when he meets Pat (Rhys Coiro), a local tennis pro who also deals drugs on the side. Pat wants to invest his earnings in the housing market and turns to Roger for advice. Roger sees this as an opportunity to make a significant profit and embraces Pat's illegal activities.
As Roger becomes more involved in Pat's drug-dealing business, he starts to see positive changes in his family life. However, he also becomes increasingly morally conflicted and begins to question whether the potentially life-changing financial gains are worth the risks and consequences.
Chlorine explores themes of greed, morality, and the damaging effects of pursuing wealth at any cost. The film also features strong supporting performances from Jordan Belfi as Georgie's tennis coach and adolescent longing, Dreama Walker as Pat's girlfriend, and Tom Sizemore as a local detective investigating the town's drug trade.
Overall, Chlorine is a thought-provoking drama that poses important questions about the nature of success and the price of achieving it.
