I loved this movie! Jason London's acting was wonderful, and he looks simply gorgeous as usual. His wife, Charly Spradling, does a good job as Bridget. A rather raunchy sex scene between the two is made easier to watch by the humorous touch they add to it. A sad but touching movie. Rent or buy it, I believe you will enjoy it.

I bought this film for the simple reason that I think Charlie Spradling is gorgeous. Still, this is a serious film with the serious theme of addiction. Both actors, Charlie Spradling and her real-life husband Jason London, are clearly trying to make a film for grown-ups rather than some lightweight teen flick. She is addicted to alcohol, and he to gambling. The theme guarantees a film with a downer tone and there is a certain soap opera feel about it, but both actors give it their best and I think the film succeeds as a vehicle for actors trying to make a film with a meaningful theme.

I bought this to hear what Stan Ridgway would do for the music on this. He did'nt disapoint! The opening titles are worth the purchase. Just like his solo work and his music with Wall of Voodoo, it's a strange and highly ecocative mix of certain ambiguous emotional states hard to name, with a lot of hybrid orchestrations of instruments. Too bad there's no soundtrack CD on this. There should be.

bad acting, bad plot. one of the worst movies i've ever seen.
