Al I would rate this film highly although you could give up watching very early on dismissing the whole film as a lightweight teen movie. There are rewards for continuing to watch, even a television version with carelessly inserted adverts for "hot babes on your mobile phone" after midnight on Prime in Australia.There are some very sinister themes and perhaps the point of the movie is to give the viewer a sense of moral repulsion for the way money gets results.In some ways it is reminiscent of Wall Street where Sheen crosses moral boundaries to please Douglas who becomes his great provider after he impresses the about to walk away with disinterest businessman.Even the studio apartment is a bit of a Wall Street touch as Giovinazzo as Paul Cleveland does favors for Ventresca's character Marshal and becomes obsessed with pleasing him.The Wall Street similarities continue as the young couple show their ability to perform non complex scams and move up to more sinister and corrupting deeds to get Marshal's Entertainment Complex "approved." The "persuasion" of the two singers is a very nasty moment and repulsed me so it was effective in my case.The ridicule of the poor shop owner merely draws out the anger of the viewer and Monet Mazur's character Georgia with the stalwart shopkeeper remain the only characters with their integrity at the end of the film.An extraordinary scene where Georgia's father refers to her as daddy's little girl seems to defy the general trend of the film, perhaps this is to give the character more strength and even enhance her status as a heroine.
nancegio Too bad there is such pain in this movie as Carmine's smile makes it worth the watch. Many will relate to the pain of a troubled childhood as they watch two young people fall prey to an "easy way out". I enjoyed the film but it had a sad ending.
Elektr0n1k ...for this is a nice lightweight, shallow movie that should appeal to the teenage market. 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
piglet-1 Well, The stars were good, however they were trapped in what appears to be "revenge of the amateurs"... I'm a fan of B-movies, but this was just too bad, poor direction, coupled with a flat story, just makes one of the worst homemade movies you'd ever see... save yourself!!!
