My freind was a fan of Carmine Giovinazzo, and although he's good, the direction and storyline of this movie just seemed impossible to work with... I understand that Eric Schwab is a begining director / writer , but gosh... I mean, you'd think other people would watch the dailys and recomend a few things! Perhaps a plot would help! I'm just upset that my freind actually bought this DVD from Amazon....

Stupid criminals hook up with stupid record exec who thinks he can use them to further his evil plans to create a maller entertainment center by ousting a nice old guy from his variety store. Due to a bribe sting, some very stupid FBI agents instigate a shoot out in a crowed club, causing the death of untold innocent bystanders. Ive learned one thing from all of this: The FBI REALLY HATES SHOPPING MALLS.

The true break out in this film is Vincent Ventresca. He has the ability to take any role make it fascinating. Hes intelligent thought in motion. Id watch this guy read the phone book. Five Stars for Ventresca!

I have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised by how good this movie was. The characters had just enough quirk to make them interesting, especially Vincent Ventresca as Marshal, who stole the show during his on-screen time.

My only problem with this movie was that there were times were things were progressing way too fast. This is most prevalent in the begining of the movie. But as soon as the introductions are over, the flow begins to fall into place nicely.

I recomend this movie for those looking for an interesting indepenent film starring some great, up and coming actors.

I'm not sure why I decided to buy this flick - probably the low price and the positive reviews.

It turned out to be a mistake.

This movie is awful. Although I like "B" movies and direct-to-video titles that are fun to watch, either because of a good storyline or great actors, this movie has none of those things. The story is weak, the acting is uninspired, and the direction is atrocious.

Those reviews saying this movie is awesome have to be shills - no way. AVOID.

I LOVED this film and found it thoroughly enjoyable. It drew me in and kept me watching. To see these characters go through the changes they go through was truly amazing to me. Monet Mazur was wonderful as well as geogeous and Carmine Giovinazzo did a great job along with Vincent Ventresca who plays his character to the edge. I thought the film was well cast, the acting was superb, the locations were amazing and the story original. Just sit back and enjoy the ride because this one is worth the trip. I give it thumbs up. If you can't enjoy this film you're looking waaay to deep. Relax and enjoy.

Eric Schwab, the finest up and coming director in Hollywood, puts out an ok film on a relatively low budget. The actors are some of the newest in Hollywood (You can tell). The film didn't get many viewers in theaters because it came out the week of 9/11 but the professional reviews at that time were mostly unfavorable. I can see why.

THIS IS AN AMAZING FILM. IF YOU WANT TO SEE STARS BEFORE THEY BECOME FAMOUS YOU MUST CHECK OUT THE LEARNING CURVE. MONET MAZUR WHO IS BECOMING SUPER HOT GIVES A GREAT PREFORMANCE. THE INVISIBLE MAN VINCENT VENTRESSCA AS THE THE EVIL RECORD PRODUCER MARSHAL SOMES OFF AS A GREAT BAD GUY. THIS IS A MUST BUY MOVIE.
THEIR OFFICIAL WEB SITE IS ... AND CHECK OUT ALL THE TRAILORS AND YOU CAN EVEN DOWNLOAD THE SCORE AND THE AMAZING MUSIC ON THE SITE. CHECK OUT THE FILM AND THE SITE. I LOVED IT

I watched this film at my girlfriend's house the other night. I asked her way she bought it and she said her friends recommended it. Now I know why. The acting was really good. It had a nice combination of action and romance. The cinematography was the best I've seen in years. The director really put it all together into well balanced, well orchestrated film that keeps you interested through out. The climatic scene in the movie was outstanding and kept me on the end of my seat. It's solid and I recommend it.

I bought the film at a low price, seeing that it featured Monet Mazur, who I adored from another movie. Big mistake; she is attractive but by no means capable of "carrying" a picture. The film is a confused mess, the type of film they often create in Europe when they have funding, a cast, a producer, but no plotline, theme, or plausible dialogue. I wish I could recommend a better form of this type of film(genre), but I can't characterize it at all.
