Der 7. Kreis der Hölle

Slightly above average noir. You will not recognize any of the actors, however character development and acting are not bad. The storyline is somewhat original. Recently released from prison physician falls in with a dysfunctional family in the small desert town of "Purgatory Flats". He is attracted to the wife of one of the family members which leads to murder and double crossing. If you enjoy these on location southwest films like "Truth or Consequences New Mexico", "American Strays", etc., you will probably like this one also. It drags in places, but eventually picks up again. Marginally recommended, and not bad of it's type. - MERK

Found this movie in a rental store. Never heard about it before, but it was a good movie. Great acting, and thrilling story line. Great kudos to Vincent Ventresca. He made Thomas character very attractive, and brought a special atmosphere to this movie.

It starts off pretty well, with the accident and the decision not to return to LA. But everything falls into place too quickly. There is a decent plot twist towards the end, but so many scenes that don't make sense. Randy (played by Brian Austin Green) comes home angry and ready to confront people and he takes the time to put on the club, when he parks his car in front of his house in the middle of nowhere? I don't want to spoil it, for anyone who does decide to see it, but the last 45 minutes are ridiculous. Even the acting, which wasn't bad early on, turns bad towards the end. Don't bother unless you want to see how bad it is.

My friend took me to a screening of this movie in Hollywood and it was awesome! It's a film noir with amazing acting, great script, cool music, the whole thing was very well done and entertaining. Don't know if it is getting a release in theaters, but this would be a great date movie or a fun movie to rent if you see it at Blockbuster. This is the kind of movie I love, low on budget but big on style and imagination. I hope Alexandra Holden gets more big parts like she has in this one, she is fantastic.

This was a pretty good movie. Good story, good acting. Definitely deserves better than a rating in the 5 range.
