LOS ANGELES, California – Jacob Elordi has quickly risen to stardom, catching the attention of both critics and audiences alike. After starring in Sofia Coppola’s film “Priscilla,” Elordi gained recognition for his performance and his potential as a leading actor.
Following the success of “Priscilla,” Elordi has gone on to star in several other films, demonstrating his range as an actor. One such film, “He Went That Way,” is a small indie production that has been released on VOD after a limited theatrical run. The film, directed by Jeffrey Darling, explores the real-life story of the Ranes brothers, who were notorious serial killers in the 1960s.
“He Went That Way” primarily focuses on the encounter between Dave Pitts, an animal trainer, and Larry Lee Ranes, a hitchhiker with a dark past. The film delves into the unsettling dynamic between the two characters, ultimately turning into a gripping road trip drama with elements of Stockholm syndrome.
While the film has its compelling moments, it falls short in fully exploring the complex relationship between the characters. The performances of Elordi and his co-star Zachary Quinto are notable, but the film itself lacks depth and fails to fully capitalize on its intriguing premise.
Despite its shortcomings, “He Went That Way” serves as a testament to Elordi’s willingness to take on diverse roles and challenge himself as an actor. His involvement in a variety of projects, both big and small, demonstrates his commitment to honing his craft and establishing himself as a versatile performer in the industry.
“He Went That Way,” released on January 5, 2024, may not be a standout film in Elordi’s career, but it is a testament to his dedication to his craft. As he continues to navigate the world of Hollywood, Elordi’s willingness to explore different genres and narratives will undoubtedly shape his trajectory as a rising star in the industry.
