User Review

Well worth your time
by the_skeptic_reviewer (United States) – See all my reviews

I went to see this film at SXSW to keep a friend of mine happy and
all I can say is...WOW! I'm not a film student or critic by any
means. I'm just our average Joe that is not often overly impressed
with most of the films that come out of Hollywood. THIS film,
though, was well worth my time and I thanked my friend for getting
me to see it.

Ultimately this film is about good, evil, and finding redemption.
Xander Berkeley plays Sonny, a father who has taken a wrong path
in life and is trying hard to make up for wasted time and broken
relationships. You are not always sure what he is up to or if he
will redeem himself or fall back to his old ways, but he finally
finds his redemption through sacrifice in a most unexpected way.


Anson Mount simply puts on the performance of his career. I can't
say enough about what he put on screen. You're not going to like
his character Bump, Abe's uncle and the father of a 6-year old
girl whose life he seems determined to ruin in the worst way. He
is a man who has completely lost any moral compass he may have
had. He is the black hole in the cosmic center of this household.
There seems to be no end to his addiction and self serving
decadence. Mount brings a realism to this character that may well
make your blood boil.

The film is raw and real. As one other reviewer stated, there are
parts of this film that are hard to sit in your seat and watch.
However, this is only because you'll want to jump into the screen
and do something to change the course of events that define the
impending train wreck of these peoples lives.

To me this film was a little choppy early which is the only reason
I didn't give it 10 of 10, but in the end this is of minor consequence.
This film is powerful. If you are looking for a glossed over look
at drug addiction, go somewhere else. This film will slap you in
the face with it.
