    Excellent low budget film

    The film was made for only $11,000. Jason Andrews was amazing. Too bad we have not seen more from this talented actor. Kimberly Flynn as Cyd was very sexy and provides a strong performance as a tough woman who cares for a man that is hard to love. The film had a tense gritty feeling with a constant sense of dread. A must see for indie film fans. This film is currently available on the Criterion collection channel. I am surprised this film does not have a larger following on imdb.. but with its addition to the creterion collection I hope s following will emerge for this hidden gem.

    An innovative tale from the streets

    This movie has a grainy gritty quality but also shows sensitivity. The music helps the movie to just float along, alot like Ghostdog. Anyway it is a must see, a real innovative piece of filmmaking. It can be compared to Scorsese's early work

    Interestingly Shot, Well Acted, Entertaining

    The highlight of this movie was in the directing. Because it was shot in black and white, it brought a depth to a movie that had little to go on script-wise. What made this movie an 8 in my opinion was the use of music, the use of the black and white, and the girl in the movie, who I found more compelling than the main character. There isn't much to give away, as the story itself holds no baring to the beauty of the movie. Its the silence that tells the story in this flick :)

    Sit down in a dark room, and enjoy.
