The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Avery (Glen Gould) is a prize fighter turned street fighter/dock worker. He is hired to rescue Jan (Amanda Crew) from a smack house to return to her parents. He runs into some issues as Jan really doesn't want to be rescued at this time and there are all kinds of people looking for her and will kill anyone who gets in the way. Avery gets in deep, and stays committed as the story takes a twist.This is a crime/drama with some action. The characters didn't grab you. There was nothing special about the twist, in fact it made the film cliche and formulaic. Glen Gould plays a rather boring leading man. It makes for an acceptable Canadian rental at best.Parental Guide: F-bombs. No sex or nudity.

Avery Paul (Glen Gould) is a street fighter and an ex-con. One day, he's approach by Ava. She hires him to abduct drug-addicted Jan (Amanda Crew) for $20k from her criminal gang and deliver her back to her family. When he takes her, he demands more money but then there is more to her story.This is definitely a small Canadian indie with the prerequisite lack of budget. That's not that big of a deal. It actually works well with the gritty drug scene. Glen Gould is not a notable name nor does he have a big screen presence. However he does have a little bit of Bronson in him, and this has a bit of that grimy low-life Death Wish vibe. Then the movie gets more violent after the turn. That's when a more experienced director could get better looking shots. Michael Melski doesn't have the skills yet or the style. However there is an edginess to this low budget indie.

Honestly, I thought this was going to be a peek at the day in the life of a drug addict whore. Let me tell you, it was far from that! The worse part about this movie was that it was over. Its funny, it did not end when I thought it would and when it finally did conclude, I wanted it to go on and on so that I could see the future lives of the main characters!! This movie has just about everything great films are made of minus humor... but there was really no place for laughs in this journey. It was suspenseful, mysterious and very well acted. It was also painful at times, but in a good way. Give this movie a view... I can't imagine ANYONE not thoroughly enjoying it!

This is a deep, gritty, richly realized Film that is a Low-Budget Story that is a surprising survey of Street Life and Street Characters that explores Addiction, Child Trafficking, Family, and Redemption in more dimensions than is usually expected in this type of thing.As it unfolds layer upon layer of Personalities and situations that are realistically portrayed as the Director restrains from the usual Cinema Flares and shows this stuff unfettered. The Acting is superb all around and it is an uncompromising look at a Zone that must seem like Twilight to theses Folks who are all on the verge of entering the Darkness.This unknown and unseen Movie is worth checking out for Neo-Noir Fans and even those who like no-holds-barred Crime Films. it is authentic, compelling and somewhat Original. A Mini-Sleeper that should gain more of an Audience as word gets out.
