    Product Description

    Jackson (Andre B. Blake), Arrow (Patrick Van Horn) and Casey (Kevin Connolly) are childhood pals who live from rave to rave. All they want is a good time and to score some money to fuel their lifestyle. But when they lose $100,000 of X in a drug deal gone awry, they must find a way out of their predicament fast. And for Jackson, who needs the dough to save his mom, the stakes are even higher.

    1 out of 5 stars Horrible.......2003-05-27

    This was bottom-line, one of the worst movies i have ever seen. I was very tempted to turn the movie off after 30 minutes but i hung on. The acting was awful, script awful, plot awful. It doesn't get much worse than this people. Patrick Van Horn was awesome in Swingers. This movie was a disgrace.

    2 out of 5 stars I didn't see this film in Vegas..........2003-02-08

    I suppose meeting the cast and crew of this film in LV, NV was informative and entertaining but that doesn't excuse the obvious failings of this film. First, as another reviewer mentioned, the boom should get co-starring credit and the focus and lighting was all over the place. I half-expected a furious Steve Buscemi to appear, yelling "Cut!" (see DiCillo's "Living In Oblivion"). Given the script's staleness and unoriginality (a fat guy named Tiny? a silly motel clerk?), the acting was relatively fine - notably Doyle. There were a few amusing moments, I'll give it that. (note to writer/director: do a comedy next time - leave the indie suspense and crime flix to others). Otherwise, an unremarkable film, which is unfortunate as I really wanted to enjoy it since writer/director/producers (all amiable guys) were gracious enough to let me hang out for a day while they filmed in my old home county of SLO - the reason for the two-star rating. Rent it, if you must, but it really has very little to do with raves, if that's what you're looking for.

    4 out of 5 stars DEVIOUS........2003-02-01

    I liked this film, I think it could have been better in areas. But as a whole it was done well. I am a film student and just finished a short, I can't even fathom shooting this feature. I also heard it was made for $50,000 not $400,000. If that is the case, what this filmmaker did for the money is on the same talent as what Robert Rodriguez did with "El Mariachi". If you can look past a boom shadow here and there and focus on the guts of the film, you will enjoy it. It is a very COOL film and if you don't get that, you will not understand it. I have read that people thoght the dialoge was cheesy. I beg to differ, the movie does have a cheesy line every so often, but the charaters make fun of them. Worth the rent, I bought it. Can't wait to see what this filmaker is going to do next.

    5 out of 5 stars There is always choices in life........2003-01-26

    This movie epitomizes the devistation that the drug life style can do to families. It became evident that all it takes is one family member and the right choice, to break that devistating cycle.
    From my viewing of this movie, I was deeply moved by Jackson's determination to break that cycle of destrucion and save his mothers life.
    Having lived this life, I am truly greatful to the director and producer for having the insite to bring these critical issues to the screen.
    I would encourage others experiencing similar issues to allow this movie to inspire them to change.

    5 out of 5 stars pretty good.......2003-01-26

    I saw it, it was cool. I would tell my friends to see. Probably not my grandma. You should dig it.
