Exceeds expectations

This is a real New York movie, for those in the know, you will recognize the seedy side of Hell's Kitchen and your head will nod as you are transported from your seat to the underbelly of the Manhattan drug scene. A fine acting job is turned in by John-Luke Montias and you will find yourself rooting for the "bad" guy, if in fact he is one. Two thumbs up for Bobby G.

bad film

This is the worst film that I 've seen in a while. very amateurish acting and directing. A bad independent film, an imitation of Cassavetes films. But Cassavetes had talent and a flair for good actors. Nobody sticks out in this film. It was a waste of time.

LEAN STREETS

BOBBY G. CAN'T SWIM (2002) ** John-Luke Montias, Susan Mitchell, Vincent Vega, Norman Middleton, Paul Maged, Donna Sonkin, Andrew Rein. Low-budget indie flick reminiscent of `Mean Streets' but without the footloose charm about a low-life trying to make a big score to get a new lease on life. Some competent acting but predictable script by Montias (who also directed) leaves little to be desired but his female co-stars Mitchell and Sonkin have their few moments in the sun.

An excellent NYC street movie, along the lines of Mean Streets.

I loved this movie. It was touching, well shot and well directed.

John Luke Montius is a one-man wonder having written, directed, and starred in this NYC street drama. The hand held cameras gave it a harsh, realistic drive that captured the raw grit of the streets. I foresee "Bobby G" doing very well with the hip, underground crowd.

Interesting look at life on the streets in NY

I recently saw this film at the Minneapolis/St.Paul international film festival and I liked it quite a bit. Basically, Bobby G. is a street level coke dealer who gets in a load of trouble when he tries to sell a kilogram to some stupid suburban kids. It was interestingly shot, it kept my attention the whole way through, and I really enjoyed watching it, so I recommend seeing it if it comes to your town.
