Because of an argument, "Cassie" (Sarah Allen) is forced to get out of the car that her boyfriend "Jack" (John Cor) is driving and is left alone on the side of the road. After walking a little bit she comes across a man in a pickup truck and asks to use his cellphone. He tells her to quickly get into the truck and hide just as another car with 2 other men comes driving up. When the drug deal he was having goes bad she is left with 3 dead bodies on the side of the road, the pickup truck, $90,000 in cash and a bag of crystal meth worth about another $90,000. Recognizing that this is her big chance she drives off. Unfortunately, there are other people who are also interested in the money who don't necessarily believe she should have it all to herself. Anyway, rather than spoil the movie for those who haven't seen it I will just say that this was a surprisingly good film. It had drama, humor and a pretty good supporting cast who all performed in a decent manner all around. I especially liked the performance of Linden Ashby who played the part of the bar owner named "Howie Preston". It also has a slightly surprising twist at the end which I thought was also good. In short, this film might not suit everybody's taste but if you like a good drug caper gone wrong then you might enjoy this film.
... View MoreIgnore the 70s-style sleazy drive in movie box art. For a drug gangsters versus strippers exploitation movie, this one has surprisingly little overt violence and practically no nudity. Are the creators really that unaware of audience expectations in these matters? Hunh.Anyway, that said, it's not awful for what it is, but still not very good, and not recommended. The positives? The lighting and camera-work show evidence of operator familiarity, at least, a positive sign for any ultra-low budget production, many of which look like a wedding video shot by somebody's uncle. And the cast work hard to seem earnest, which is not quite the same as actually being good in their roles, but it's a start.The negatives are everything else. There are really no surprises in the routine running-from-the-mob plot line and the low budget forces the creators to keep their artistic and visual ambitions modest. There are no flashy visuals here, as everything was shot in found (ie cheaply rented) interiors and deserted roads and parking lots, likely very late at night when nobody was around checking on shooting permits. The script is pedestrian to be kind and the whole thing comes off as if the creators were happy just to have made a movie, any movie. Quality and originality were simply not in the budget.
... View MoreSeeing this was better than seeing a bunch of other low budget movies.There was even somewhat of a story that was entertaining.Most of the cast was well cast and while this wasn't the best film made, there was still enough interest to be captivating enough not to be a bore and not to be too cheap on the budget that it had.Filmed in Ottawa, Ontario and made to be in Ohio or around there didn't make any sense, as there was no reason for it to be called anything other than Ottawa, the city was unimportant.I was really looking forward to see the stripper chick get pshyco with a gun, but that doesn't come to be.Some characters were flat, but for a freebie, I didn't complain.
... View MoreOkay, not so good reviews yet...Eccept for the terrible, terrible music and sounds, this move totally outclasses the Hollywood movie productions. There is no special effects or over anticipated celebrities contaminating the movie. This makes it a rarity these days. You get into the story right away and the plot goes on, combining some action and drama in a regular small town setting.Drawbacks, the music... like a porno o something...Worth watching, but get a copy with subtitles and turn the volume down...
