Featured Comments/Tips
It was okay. The monologue at the end was really silly and wasn't very comprehensible. That could be the point, or it could be bad writing. Doesn't really matter either way because anytime someone is giving the corrupt housing developers what they deserve im here for it. 3 stars.
wtf? the movie was better than expected. why? it''s a production by ''the asylum''. give it a try! :'gt;
A good Stuart Gordon movie. Very effective and intense. Good cast. The odd trashy moment.
I just saw a true unicorn: a film for the Asylum that didn''t completely stink. While still awkward, this grim tale shows what you can do with next to no money but a good cast. The second act is actually the most memorable and the third act falls apart but this post modern film noir is competent and interesting, if macabre.
