Some might argue a perfect lookalike, which wouldn't be wrong at all. The movie itself has quite a few characters it has to bring together or at least introduce and let them play out what they are trying to do. Obviously everyone involved has their own agenda and not everything is as it seems.Acting-wise you get what you'd expect, with so many known faces. Some might be surprised by the women involved, but only in a very positive way. They all have tough roles to play out, but they deliver. While the story might not have that wow effect going for it, it still is as the movie itself pretty good.

A Somewhat Gritty and Sometimes Amusing Off-Beat Little Crime Story About Drug Dealers and Assorted Hotties. Many Familiar Faces Can Be Seen in This Underrated Movie with Many a Quirk and a Complicated Plot of Misdirection and Coincidental, but Important Situations.It's Got Enough Violence and Underworld Middle-Level Drug Stuff to be Sleazy, It's Set in New Orleans, to be Worth a Watch. Nothing Here is New in the Genre but it Tries Hard to Include Characters with Expected and Not So Expected Human Flaws.Justin Long was Outstanding in Tusk (2014 Directed by Kevin Smith) and is Fine as the Nucleus of the Story and the Women Here are All Smokin Hot and that Adds to the Attraction. The Film's Aloof Manner Keeps This From the Neo-Noir Genre Although it Contains Some Elements. Nothing Memorable, but is a Good B-Movie and the Cast and Some Style Make This a Good Pick When Slumming.

britta really britta'd this movie. slow, uninteresting start. i'll admit my interest piqued when lacey was exposed as wearing a wire, but her character was about as interesting to me as a lemonade icy pole on a 7 degree day. no real chemistry between her and holt, joe was about as dry as a brick (why would mila go for a crusty old man like him), bobby and the other one failed to make me even realise they were supposed to be the tough gangsters (i thought they were the classic smart thug, dumb thug couple), drew was a joke, and i cant remember any other characters because they didn't stand out at all. oh yeah, luis guzman did his thing, though it was a bit forced.really, some moments in here were super super corny. drew walking in slow motion infront of the car blowing up? bobby walking in slow motion before his ammunition and guns supply blew up? no thanks. it really was horrible in these parts.i did like how mila was played. believable acting coupled with a complex character background allowed the role to be executed with style and grace, exactly how mila was supposed to be shown. however lacey's acting was flat and started out looking like something i'd see at a 16 year old's drama recital.the ending was kind of surprising though. i did like the idea of him killing mila/stand-in sadie and it fit well with her story, however it would have been interesting to see if luis guzman was the guy lacey had to get with in the end and lacey really did show up, but that's another story.
