I didn't know too much of what to expect when I bought this film. All I knew was that my Uncle was in it. His name is Bill Bastiani, he plays Mort a wealthy drug dealer who gets killed in the beginning of the film. And boy does he have a great scene! I couldn't stop laughing through his opening segment where he goes on a cursing spree after he stabs Billy Zane! As a kid I always wanted to see his films but wasn't allowed. All of his films were R and he usually played a sleazebag. Anyway the film was very enjoyable. The beginning stumbles a bit (after my uncles part) but it soon finds it's place. Billy Zane plays Joey Turks a small time theif, a basic nobody. Soon after though he finds himself caught up in the middle of a crazy drug scandal. Zane is great, I'm surprised he didn't get enough good parts after Titanic. He gives a certain life to Joey Turks, and makes him a likable character. Mark Pellegrino (Bart)is also very enjoyable as drug dealer Spuntz's gay number 2. I don't want to give too much away but this is a great film and I encourage everyone to go see it. However it is not for everyone, and I can understand that. It's a low budget film, and is very quirky. I was reminded a lot of Pulp Fiction, however Pulp Fiction is a classic. If you don't like the film the first time watch it again; it may take a litle while to get into it. However, I am giving it 4 out of 5 stars for being very original and quirky,strange and surprising, with likable and offbeat characters. Especially my Uncle, I loved his role in this. Just watch it!
Viewer Reviews
My favorite Billy Zane movie. Excellent offbeat, off color independent film that made fun of independent films by cramming as many independent film stereotypes and cliches into the movie as possible without being too obvious. loved the movie. I still don't understand why this hasn't made it to DVD when every day there are more and more sub par movies make the DVD jump and this one (that so richly deserves it) hasn't made the jump to DVD.
On a side not Don Adams the Nude Bomb (get smart movie) is another movie that should be on DVD but isn't yet.
