| User ReviewJoey MI really like this movie. I've been trying to find it so I can buy it but no such luck. |
| User ReviewDamien KA very sad film deep down, but also one of the more interesting low budget films out there. Starring Lucas Haas, and David Arquette, in an outstanding performance by both, play street hustlers, trying to make a living in Los Angeles under harsh circumstances. All they have is each other. And that is perfectly executed by all. A Must See! |
| User ReviewMare QDavid Arquette and Lukas Haas co-star in this indie flick, about an LA street hustler, who enlists the aid of a smitten comrade to help him replenish his stolen cash. pretty good little flick. ** review to be continued ** |
| User ReviewCeph J"Johns" are pimps but this movie is really about men named John. There's David Arquette as the "christ-like" John born on Xmas and seeking to improve himself and his relationship with Luka Haas (in good form) as Donner. It's a movie about redemption but is filled with heavy religious symbolism which diffuses the impact of the drama. It recalls the excellent "Midnight Cowboy" but not as good. David Arquette is the main reason to watch this movie. The actor has never been better and you ache for the actor because you sense that things will go wrong. It's an emotionally wrenching role and Arquette carries it well. Terrence Howard, Arliss Howard, and Eliott Gould offer reliable support. I was touched by this movie and emotionally immersed with Arquette's role. |
| User ReviewAngel MSolid drama with a really fine performance by David Arquette, one of his best roles. Nicely written with a smooth pace, good characterizations, well developed roles. Nice score as well. |
| User ReviewGerame AThis movie is very strong! I loved this movie because it shows reality for many people in the world! |
