A bit silly in parts with much of the acting and drama turned up to an excessive frequency. The style of this flick is quite cool, but then is belied by the unstylish plot and dialogue where the motivations of most actors just don't match up with their actions. One problem was a lack of gravitas given to events - out of place music and lengthy shots of no consequence. However the major problem for me was the main villain and protagonist played by Vincent Ventresca. This was a guy who was presented as gangster, powerful, and the head of a record company - yet his entire livelihood depends on a new mall? Seriously, a mall? Why is he interested in malls, where is the money for building the mall coming from, surely even if the mall is approved it will take years to get any return on investment etc etc. So the main plot device is nonsensical and the rest does little to make up for it. Perhaps if this were a blue movie all of the above may make some sense.

A bit of a loose story about boy meets girl, boy and girl find a way to get everything they wanted, girl realizes it was a mistake, boy dies just after he realizes.But man if they had gone into more about Vinny's (Vincent Ventresca's) character, Marshall; I think this movie would have been wonderful. Marshall was such a Bad A@@. I want to know why he was that way.I honestly would love to take his character, make my own film about him, and actually die to have Vinny play him again.My recommendation... See it for Vinny. His scenes are really the only thing worth watching. The story is dull. The characters were not as developed as they could have been. And none of them (besides a more developed Marshall) where anywhere near where they could have been. Vinny's was wonderful.

The story is pretty basic: two teenagers find love and get entangled in a web of crime while pursuing their quest for easy cash. Actors are unknown and pretty uninspiring, apart from Monet Mazur and the bad guy's speed-addicted henchman - he made me laugh quite a lot throughout the movie.The biggest problem, for a more mature audience, is the shallowness of the story and the flatness of all characters. Overall, production and music is quite good and I see no problem in checking this out at your local video rental store, if you're in the mood for a light teen-crime action movie. 6/10
