I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

What did I just witness? In fact, hold on... 9-1-1, I would like to report a crime. Yes, it is a cinematic crime. You can find the suspects easily by looking up "BlackMale" on IMDb.com. They should be easy to find because none of their careers have taken them anywhere. I just stopped on this movie during a late night channel surf, and it seemed interesting enough. A guy being entrapped by a beautiful young lady; I just wanted to see where it was headed. I later found out that it was headed towards the pits.Well, the title is silly enough to suggest that the movie in turn wouldn't be any good. Although it had some credible actors in it. Bokeem Woodbine is no stranger, and I certainly remember Roger Rees from "Cheers", but this movie just stunk like nobody's business. The plot and events just kept getting more and more absurd up until the utterly ridiculous ending. Somebody was definitely blackmailed here. I think the actors were blackmailed into being in this movie, but being that it is an indie film, there was no distributor blackmailed into helping produce this junk.

I fell in love with this film.Two men with vision set sail to expose the wretched underbelly of mans struggle against societies vices.This is not a love story. It is a tale carefully woven through the murky dark shadows of an underworld not known to you,me or my granny.My senses were pleasured with subtle nuances and textures that caused me to dab my moistened brow..... twice. Gee, I found myself saying over and over again. All the while I began to think, heck ,is my vocabulary really limited to the word gee. The non stop action grips one by the by the fleshy part of the earlobe and tugs you along on the ride of your life! Life is short and now your earlobe is disfigured. Enjoy a great movie

My film teacher showed us this movie to teach us about independent films and because one of his friends worked on it. He warned us in the very beginning that it was a horrible movie and that he was sorry to have to make us watch it. This is coming from a FILM TEACHER WHO WAS FRIENDS WITH SOMEONE WHO HELPED MAKE IT. Everyone at the end of the movie in my class was just shaking their heads and was laughing throughout the whole thing (though it was just stupid, not funny). The acting is too much, the story loses itself after a while and spins way out of control, and it was just overall confusing. The Quentin Tarantino aim was completely lost because I love Tarantino films and I love high-paced action movies and I'm usually really good at following fast stories. This is just a terrible movie and I really highly suggest STAYING AWAY.

This is a genius film. The Baluzy brothers rival the Coens in this fast paced, intellegent thriller. Each twist and turn will shock you, and it even throws in a little black comedy in the mix. A must see. Rent it, or buy it, it could easily be on the top 250.
