Empty hearts, lonely hearts, angry hearts all come together in a dank, seedy bar located in the dark canyon of lower new york city. Not a place to find love, but a place to be together for the exclusive club of black, blue collar, and superior intellectuals, a motley and fascinating crew. But it's owner, in spite of all the raw rage is both enterprising and able to love. Not knowing anything about this film before viewing it, I found myself riveted by the truth of what these actors portray, the human heart cloaked in darkness, seeking and not seeking the light, but finding it anyway. At last an American film of substance and gritty grace. I loved it.

I didn't know what to make of the film when i started watching it. The start was a tad slow but still very watchable because of the great performance and chemistry between the cox and dano.

Although admittedly the ending was a little predictable, the great musical score, the look and feel of the film and its well paced character development more than covers for it.

Go watch it... if you are a fan of the drama genre, you'll like this.

I liked it. An American movie with an European feel. Watch it, you will also be pleasantly surprised.

A very carefully crafted film where life and death, love and hate are in constant interaction. Such a relief from stupid movies we have all around.

This was an interesting film, but a bit slow. Just didn't connect with it enough to like it. Acting was pretty mediocre. Overall, not memorable.
