Pi (1998)

Just because you're paranoid...
Reclusive Max is a mathematician who sees mathematical patterns everywhere, is the sky, in the trees, even in the stock market (or so he thinks).  As he searches for patterns, his paranoia grows.  People seem to be watching him on the subway.  Shady corporate types try to strong arm info out of him.  This psychological thriller has been on my Netflix queue for awhile but that have just never watched.  Overall, I enjoyed it, although Aronofsky's films don't really bring joy in the truest sense.  They do challenge the viewer to think.

Pi racks up some impressive numbers with 4 out of 5 Poblanos!
