Full Plot Details

Bobby G. lives life on the edge in this real, raw New York street drama. Bobby is a small-time coke dealer, always on the hustle but rarely successful. He lives in Hell's Kitchen with his Puerto Rican girlfriend Lucy, who makes ends meet as a prostitute. A typical day finds Bobby selling $20 bags to neighborhood locals and passing cars. A yuppie kid looking to score a kilo of coke approaches him to broker a deal and Bobby sees the opportunity of a lifetime to make some real money. His rough days may just be over. With the tidy profit he could even leave the business. Playing out of his league, Bobby arranges to get the kilo from Astro, a fearsome, high-level drug dealer. Though Lucy announces that she's decided to go back to Puerto Rico and pleads with him to make a fresh start too, Bobby is sticking to his deal and isn't going anywhere now, convinced he'll be 'livin' large in a matter a' days. "On deal day the client gets nervous and the plan goes awry with Bobby turning over the merchandise without being able to hold on to the cash. He now fears for his life unless he can come up with the money, fast, to pay back Astro. Seized with panic Bobby seeks out an acquaintance, Dollar Bill, who puts him in touch with a mob figure who needs somebody "whacked" and is willing to pay big bucks for it too. Though Bobby has never fired a gun in his life, he carries out the execution. The act plunges him into a state of shock and torment verging on madness. In the ensuing hours, Bobby, his mind in a daze, will find redemption in a bizarre journey involving a homeless woman, the Hudson River, and a blind street-peddler named Popeet. He will also learn, that what fate may give, she is just as free to take away.

Movie Reviews

New York Times - 9/10 by Elvis MitchellUnfortunately, as a writer, Mr. Montias isn't nearly as good to his crew as he is as a director or actor.
Orlando Weekly - 8/10 by Todd DeeryThe kind of movie that comes along only occasionally, one so unconventional, gutsy and perfectly executed it takes your breath away.
Los Angeles Times - 6/10 by Kevin ThomasDecidedly a minor item that's been on the shelf for a while but is nonetheless an effective calling card for its writer-director-star.
L.A. Weekly - 4/10 by Scott FoundasThe movie rarely overcomes its terminal Scorsese- and Ferrara-isms, or fulfills the promise, evident in the film's early passages, that Montias might be a fine observer of local color with his own unique stories to tell.
User Review - 6/10 by Lee MWhenever the picture tries to be about something bigger, it turns predictable or maudlin or, in a few sad instances, both simultaneously.
User Review - 6/10 by Ugly CBobby G. Can't Swim was made in 1999 for $20k. Just remember that when you watch it. Why do you want to remember that? Because for $20k, shot on film (the Blowup entry in the credits leads me to believe 16mm or Super16), it's a pretty decent flick. The story and creative characters in Bobby G.'s life are what make this budget indie film work. Acting as well as directing, John-Luke Montias does a great job of building tension and showing us character development through the course of the sub-90 minute feature. The acting is decent, and the sets, while sparse, get the job done. Most of the movie actually takes place outside, and to this end, a good job was done separating the actors from the hustle and bustle of New York City. To close, it ain't El Mariachi, but it ain't too bad.
