Bross and co-writer Tom Cudworth can be commended for managing to give everyone a hard-knock yet morally satisfying ending.

Some bad scenes, even worse music, and really a story that isn't so much driven by any emotion than it is whiny stupidity. The film felt like a playground's version of Goodfellas, in a way where it is lacking and minimally motivated. Considering the type of films Eric Bross does, this'll (sadly) probably be his best...

Poorly acted (save for Brody) and clumsily told, this movie reeks of independent filmmaking. In the bad sense... The characters are silly with flatness and the plot is so predictable as to be embarrassing. I'd suggest skipping this one.
